I think the problem here is more with assuming that Acrobatics (1) must be flashy and can't simply represent better flexibility and timing and (2) is the skill of people other than serious athletes with a circus or gymnastics background, or at least a background in one of a handful of martial arts that roll that way. This is mostly because PCs seem to have Acrobatics all the time, even when it doesn't fit their background, and because players love to describe what it means in a flashy way.

I have a suspicion that today I'm highly annoying and counterproductive on the forum. Sorry. Quote:
People, I'm just sorry. I don't know what to say. |

Sometimes it's useful to think about these things and discuss them openly. As long as you're not rude about it (and you haven't been), you're fine |

I was under the impression that AoA (Determined) and Telegraphic Attack didn't stack either, but I must have gotten that confused with AoA (Strong) and extra effort for extra damage. |

Regarding becoming a Keeper, it was more like this: I'm reading, analyzing and memorizing those Q&As anyway. The FAQ is orphaned. How about we do something about it. So I started the uFAQ. Then I basically asked for a promotion when given the chance. ;) I still have no idea how most of the generic forum population reacted to that. Quote:
