Athletics is a Strength skill.

What it covers

Physical might — climb, jump, swim, lift, force open — and physical control of opponents: grapple, shove, trip, disarm, reposition, escape.

Progression

Level	Unlock	Feat	Effect
2	Novice feat choice (pick one)	Grip of Iron	When you commit to a hard climb, you add +2 to the declared Athletics check.
		Spring Loaded	When you commit to an explosive jump or leap, you add +1d4 to the declared Athletics check.
		Bulging Muscles	While flexing, you carry a Flexing BUFF: +2 to Charisma for 5 minutes.
		Arm-legs	Your tireless drive keeps you a step ahead. You gain +10 ft movement speed at all times, helping you outrun trouble, close a gap, or simply travel a little quicker than the rest.
		Boar Rush	When a foe sits beyond your usual reach but within charging distance, you can unleash Boar Rush: you close the gap at six times your movement speed and slam into them, dealing +1d4 BLUNT damage plus your proficiency bonus on the hit.
		Mighty Wingspan	The thrown object deals +1d4 BLUNT on the hit, plus extra BLUNT scaled to its weight, about +1 per 3 pounds, capped at four times your proficiency bonus. If its weight is unknown, your proficiency bonus stands in.
3	Passive bonus	Carrying capacity bonus
4	Mastery bonus	+1 to Athletics rolls
6	Adept feat choice (pick one)	Human Projectile	Hurl a grabbed creature toward a target: the thrown creature is flung across to the target's location, lands Knocked Prone, and takes +1d8 BLUNT damage plus your proficiency bonus from the impact.
		Iron Anchor	Bracing banks a Braced charge: +2 to your next Athletics check. The charge does not expire and waits until you spend it on a roll. Usable once per rest.
		Strongman's Challenge	Issuing a public strength challenge feeds your bravado: gain Victor's Swagger BUFF, +2 Charisma for 1 hour.
