Maintain speed and balance through unstable, uneven, or hazardous terrain - even during combat - without loss of mobility or composure.
Roll d100 + Surefooted versus DR 100
On success, you maintain full movement speed and avoid tripping, slipping, or slowing down.
+20 to DR if under attack, carrying someone, or sprinting
+10 to +30 DR for moving across broken surfaces, shifting ground, or dangerous elevation changes
–10 to –30 DR if familiar with the terrain or moving slowly/carefully
Dash across loose rubble while being shot at DR = +10 (rough terrain) + 20 (under fire) → DR 130
Surefooted enables characters to keep their footing under challenging physical conditions, from traversing mountain ridges and swampy marshes to sprinting over slick spaceship hulls mid-combat. It’s about control—of balance, movement rhythm, and adjusting instinctively to unstable terrain.
This skill is especially useful in hazardous zones or during retreats, chases, and battlefield flanking attempts. While others slow down or risk falling, you move with practiced grace and hardened instincts.
