High Dive

Basic Physical Maneuver [General]

Prerequisites: Physical Rank 2, Swim Rank 5

Interruptive Action

Cost: 1 Stamina

Trigger: You fall into water (of significant depth)

Effect: With practiced grace you angle your body straight down, forming your hands into a precise triangle above your head as you pierce the water below, minimizing the impact. Make a Swim check. Reduce the damage suffered from falling by 1/2, then reduce the remaining damage by the result of your Swim check.

Special: Effects that fully restrict movement, such as Restrained, Paralyzed, or effects that cause you to beHelpless prevent you from using this ability.
