-^{{ra>footprint?48|Movement}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Inertial Push:** You may take one movement action (optionally including sprinting) per round as a free action so long as the movement action in question happens completely within a slippery area you can balance on (ice, soapy floor, oil slick, etc). |
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Jump Clear:** When you are targeted with an attack, you can choose to dodge it after seeing the dice result but before actually suffering the effect. Dodging lets you move up to 2 meters in any direction you like. The attack targets the place you were, not the place you are (and thus has no further effect). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Area Weakness:** Attacks that strike a whole area (such as many Whelm-type attacks) cannot be successfully dodged unless you managed to move completely outside of the target area. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Gotta See It Coming:** You can only dodge attacks when you can clearly see the attacker (they must be within your visual arc and have no concealment/cover from you). If you also have the Whirl ability from this archetype, you totally can dodge attacks that you successfully spun around to face. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**That One's Gonna Land:** You cannot dodge attacks whose trigger die is 10+. They're going to get you regardless. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conservation of Action:** Every time you choose to dodge an attack, you get one less action on your next turn. You cannot dodge more than twice per round. |

While you have skates on, you can treat any relatively flat, smooth area as being slippery for purposes of using Skate to get around in it. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Awkward Walking:** While you have skates on, you take an impairment to move in any area that is not mostly smooth and flat (such as stairs). |

-^Entertainment |The settlement has interesting shows and distractions for adventurers to unwind with. Adventuring parties can spend 1 Supply per party member here to carouse together, resulting in +1 XP for all participants.
