[Rq-rules] I get knocked down - but I get up again...

[postmaster at runequest.za.org]

Thats my next step with the acrobat in the party. Let her meet an NPC who
handles himself in a bar fiught like Jackie Chan - with all the imrpvised
weapons and moves. Learn that "style" off him and open up the martial arts
skill, thus leaving acrobatics skill for acrobatics and martial arts for
combat.

My main issue with Jump in combat sitiations is that, well most characters
tend to have real shite dodge skills, so sooner or later someone comes up
with :"I will jump out the way" and thais leads into a wee argument of the
differences between dodge and jump which stuffs up play as someone alweays
has to whip out the rules and read the two skill descriptions for all to
hear. Well thats my gorup dynamic anyway....
