Acrobat

Record Image

Whether performing death-defying stunts in a traveling circus, busking on crowded street corners, or entertaining nobles at private parties, you made your living through physical prowess and showmanship. You learned to trust your body completely -- to fall and roll, to balance on the narrowest surfaces, and to make the impossible look effortless. When the applause faded or the crowds thinned, you found that the same skills that earned you coin could also save your life.

Once per long rest, when you fall, you can reduce the falling damage you take by an amount equal to three times your character level (to a minimum of 0 damage). Additionally, if this reduces the damage to 0, you land on your feet and can immediately move up to half your speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
