| Skill-Use = Walk on Water (Epic Acrobatics)


| Benefit = You can attempt to walk across water or another liquid at least as heavy as water.  You must move at least 20 feet each round you attempt this, or you will fall into the water.  More dense liquids may or may not be easier or harder.  Walking on lava would be easier (assuming you can resist the incredible heat) because lava is often viscous and sticky, but walking on quicksilver would be very, very hard (+50) despite its extreme density.  The GM adjudicates all unusual circumstances.

| Skill-Use = Walk on Gaseous Surface (Epic Skill Use)
| Skill-Use = Walk on Gaseous Surface (Epic Acrobatics)


| Benefit = You can walk on the surface of a fog, or mist, or even simply the boundary between hot and cold air.  You can use the heat shimmers above a hot surface as a sort of ladder, for example. Note that this is not flight, as any perturbation of the gaseous surface acts as waves or stormy seas and can force you to move quickly to find another place to stand.

| DC = 60
| DC = 60 + 5 per 50 lbs of weight


| Modifiers = The DC for this check increases by 10 for every 50 lbs you weigh (including items and equipment you carry). In addition, there may be circumstances for the gaseous surface you are standing on, as explained above.  Yes, it is possible to run around on the surface of a tornado, but its not going to be even a little bit easy. The GM should apply all modifiers that seem appropriate, using the modifiers on this page as guidelines.

| Skill-Use = Balance on Hair-Thin Surface (Epic Acrobatics)


| Benefit = You are able to walk upon a spider web, or tightrope across a single thread, use an unraveled hem to stair-step your way up a giant, and many other amazing things.  This often looks like you are walking on a gaseous surface, but having anything solid at all to use as a toehold, no matter how tiny, makes this a much easier check to attempt.
