This skill is obviously favored among athletes. The Athletics skill encompasses all forms of athletic prowess, from throwing a hammer to jumping across a chasm.
Contents
Difficulty
The difficulty depends on the physical action being performed. Thus, it's up to the GM to determine appropriate numbers. Here are some examples.
Long Jump
For a long jump, the result of the skill check equals the number of feet the character can move. Thus, if a character with 10 in Muscle and 10 ranks in Athletics rolls a 10 on their skill check, they can jump 30 feet. (To put it in perspective, the current world record for the long jump is 29.36 feet). Characters need a good running start to gain sufficient momentum to jump this far. If a sufficient distance is not completed, the GM should determine what impact it has on the distance.
High Jump
| DL | Feet |

For a high jump, the resut of the skill check divided by 3.75 equals the number of feet the character can move vertically. Thus, if a character with 10 in Muscle and 10 ranks in Athletics rolls a 10 on their skill check, they can jump 8 feet. (To put it in perspective, the current world record for the high jump is 8.03 feet).
Characters need a good running start to gain sufficient momentum to jump this high. If a sufficient distance is not completed, the GM should determine what impact it has on the distance.
Retries
Athletics checks cannot be re-rolled without the expenditure of a fate point.
