Dodging is the ability to move out of the way of incoming attacks, this includes physical attacks and some magical attacks that are aimed at you. You may not wear any armour beyond leather in order to dodge. Your ability to dodge increases as your acrobatics skill increases.
 
You will only be able to dodge those attacks which you can see coming, making this ability of limited use against psionic attacks, dreamweavers, and long-ranged attacks where your assailant is not near to you.

==Limber==
{{AB
 
|skillname = Limber
{|
|syntax = LIMBER

==Balancing==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>BALANCING [ON/OFF]</tt>
|-
|}
Like a cat, you can balance yourself in such a manner that you stand a chance to remain on your feet from those attacks which would knock you over. On use there is a chance the balancing will stop.
 
==Falling==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>FALLING</tt>
|-
|}
You can prepare yourself to brace yourself against falling. This means you will reduce damage and lessen the chance of breaking limbs. Your falling skill increases as your level in acrobatics increases.
 
==Elasticity==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>ELASTICITY</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Damage Modifier: 20
|-
|}
By stretching your muscles, you will take less damage from many injuries to your body.
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkgreen; color:white"|'''Additional Notes:'''

|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>CLIMB UP (to climb trees)</tt>
|-
|}
You can climb faster than most, including out of pits.
 
==Handstand==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>HANDSTAND</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Power:  3 (any)
|-
|}
By standing on your hands, you can avoid most physical attacks from blades, bludgeons and fists thrown against you. (It provides no protection against magical or mystical means of assault.) However, there is very little you can do while standing on your hands.
 
==Springup==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>SPRINGUP</tt>
|-
|}
You no longer need balance in order to stand. Rather, you can spring upright at any time.
 
==Sprint==

|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>SPRINT <direction></tt>

{|
|-

You can easily roll out of danger, quicker than a tumbler.

{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>SOMERSAULT <direction></tt>
|-
|}
You can easily roll out of danger, quicker than a tumbler.
 
==Calisthenics==
 
Your dextrous practices grant you a 1/5 bonus to health.
 
==Contortion==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>CONTORT</tt>
|-
|}
Through dislocating joints and other tricks, you can contort yourself out of all forms of entanglement.
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkgreen; color:white"|'''Additional Notes:'''
|-
| style="background:lightgreen"|You can also specify the type of entanglement with the <tt>CONTORT SHACKLES</tt> syntax; in general, this works the same as <tt>WRITHE</tt> but is quicker.

For a short period of time, your chance to dodge attacks will be vastly increased. You will have an additional 50% chance to dodge any attack (by either a denizen or player), compounded with your natural dodging ability. As with regular dodging, denizen attacks will be reduced rather than avoided entirely.
