Abilities

Acrobatic Specialist — For encounters involving contests of acrobatics and similar activities, the acrobat is a 5th-level challenge.

Cat Fall — The acrobat treats all falls as 25 feet shorter.
Nimble Dodge
Sneak Attack — The acrobat deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Swinging Strike — The acrobat swings on a rope or trapeze, moving up to double their Speed. At any point during the swing, they can make a melee Strike.
