 :* '''[[Catch from Fall (sage ability)|Catch from Fall]]''': permits the character to arrest a fall of up to 20 feet by seizing any projecting object at least 6 inches in length, without requiring an [[Ability Checks|ability check]]. The character may do this instinctively, even when surprised or otherwise unprepared, turning what would be a dangerous fall into a controlled recovery.
 :* '''[[Impact Resistance (sage ability)|Impact Resistance]]''': permits the character to forfend [[Injury|injury]] by making a dexterity check against it; when injury would normally occur, a successful roll negates the injury and halves the normal [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] taken.

The character may stride, turn, halt or maintain balance without difficulty, and is capable of fighting while elevated, using the added height without losing control or footing.

		+	The study is legitimately dangerous — characters performing stunts outside their normal routine will have to make [[Ability Checks\|dexterity checks]] to stave off possible injury and death. However, within the framework of a prepared performance, where practice has occurred and the character is familiar with the details involved, the danger is only apparent. Nonetheless, the skills that make such performances possible may also allow the character to act in the real world with an unnatural level of skill when carrying out unlikely feats.

		+	The daredevil lives as though fate were a dance partner, not a master. There is in them a defiant grace, an ease with danger that borders on seduction — they refuse to yield to fear, forged through countless moments at the edge where calculation, instinct and motion become one. They carry themselves with a kind of light-hearted bravado, from a joy in testing the limits of flesh and will. They may laugh in the face of danger, but it's a trust they have in their ability to make the impossible seem like a day at the beach.
