Chapter 1 - Non-weapon Proficiencies
Salmon Leap Non-weapon Proficiency
(must be from Celtic area)
To chose this skill the character must have jumping first. This skill allows the character to make a standing jump to avoid a weapon or strike over a shield.
By using the salmon leap (which counts as an attack) the character may make a standing high jump of 1d3 plus their level in feet, with a minimum of 3 feet. Combining the salmon leap with an attack over an opponent's shield gives the attack +2 to hit unless the opponent makes a successful Dexterity check. Using the salmon leap to dodge an attack improves the character's AC by 2.
The character makes a Balance check to see whether the salmon leap was successfully carried out. If not, the leap is the normal 3 feet allowed by the jumping non-weapon proficiency and combat bonuses do not apply.
