Special Abilities

Perfect Agility (Su; Athletic Creature Pattern)

Once per encounter, self-only, usable at-will as a free action, Perfect Agility negates any status condition which usually impedes movement or reduces the number of actions the victim can take, such as Paralyzed, even if that condition normally allows no actions at all. It can negate one such condition each time it is used.

In addition, Perfect Agility allows the Athletic Creature to roll Might, Movement, and Athletics skill checks twice and take the result they like better.

Lastly, Perfect Agility allows them to automatically Disperse any obscuring effects they encounter in all squares they occupy or move through, without suffering any effects from that Obscuring effect. Obscuring effects include: Obscuring (Acid Fog (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Aggressive Thundercloud, Greater (Druid Spell),  Aggressive Thundercloud, Greater (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Aggressive Thundercloud (Druid Spell),  Aggressive Thundercloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Barrow Haze (Cleric Spell),  Barrow Haze (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Cloudkill (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Euphoric Cloud (Druid Spell),  Euphoric Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Fog Cloud (Alchemist Extract),  Fog Cloud (Druid Spell),  Fog Cloud (Ranger Poultice),  Fog Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Incendiary Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Mind Fog (Bard Spell),  Mind Fog (Paladin Spell),  Mind Fog (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Nauseating Trail (Alchemist Extract),  Nauseating Trail (Druid Spell),  Nauseating Trail (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Plague Storm (Cleric Spell),  Plague Storm (Druid Spell),  Plague Storm (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Solid Fog (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Stinking Cloud (Alchemist Extract),  Stinking Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell),  Twilight Haze (Paladin Spell),  Twilight Haze (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell)), and any other effects the GM rules as being affected.
