Graceful Recovery

Cost: 4
Ability Type: Defensive Enhancement
Related Skill: Athletics
Prerequisites: Athletics 5, Quick Recovery and Break Fall

You are extremely adept at landing well and recovering your balance quickly. If you fail to defend against an attack that subsequently knocks you down (anything from a Throw or Sweep to an attack that does Knockdown or Knockback) you can use Graceful Recovery to help minimise the consequences – so long as you failed your defence by 3 or less. Graceful Recovery applies a -2 DC modifier to falling damage and Throw attacks and completely negates any Recovery Penalty that you would normally suffer.
