Escape allows a character to free themselves from restraints, such as ropes, nets, and manacles. It can also be used to squeeze through small areas, those a creature could not move through without significant effort. And those that are particularly good at contortion use their expertise to entertain and confound crowds with their contortionist acts.

Common Uses of the Tumble Skill
  • Use Escape Bonds to slip out of Ropes, Nets, Manacles, and similar restraints.
  • Use Squeeze to move through tight spaces.
  • Entertain a crowd contortionist abilities
