Agility

Your speed, evasion, and balance. Check against agility to move quickly or gracefully.

• Balance: Hazardous terrain or some actions may force a check to avoids falling down. Slender or unstable surfaces may penalize the check.
• Dash: Use an action and check agility. Base movement is doubled, plus add an area for each level of success.
• Dodge: Use a defense to contest any attack with agility. You suffer a penalty if the attack is from behind your flank. A Dive is a special dodge which requires a guard, and jumps you out of your area. If the check succeeds dash your jump speed before effects hit. If you fail you jump after any effects hit. If the attack contests you directly then you only avoid it if you win the contest.
• Stand: If you are down, check against your agility. If you succeed you may stand with a snap, if you fail it costs your action instead.

Default Speeds

Type	Speed	Notes
Run	4	Standard ground movement.
Jump	1	You ignore segment properties between your starting area and ending area.
Swim	2	You fall downward 1 area in liquid unless you hustle to float. If you gain interference you begin to drown.
Climb	2	Steep areas require a check, and if you fail you must stop moving. If you gain interference you fall.

Overlap

When you enter an adjacent area (touching an opponent) it's called overlap. Moving out of an overlap area costs +1 Speed. An opponent can use a defense (block or intercept) to force you to stop moving between two overlap areas. You can oppose this with your own dodge.

• Charge: Charging is a furious action that allows you to dash and then attack with a penalty.
• Move: You use an action to move areas up to your speed. Speed varies depending on the terrain, see Default Speeds. You may move into any adjacent area terrain allows, and when you are finished moving you must pick a facing for your flank.
