===Skipper Talents===

'''{{Anchor|Big Skip}} {{Su}}:''' As a [[SRD:Full-Round Action|full-round action]] consuming all her skip for the round, the skipper can replicate the effects of ''[[SRD:Teleport|teleport]]''.

At 13th level, she may replicate the effects of ''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' instead.

At 17th level, she may replicate the effects of ''[https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/i/interplanetary-teleport/ interplanetary teleport]'' instead.

Unlike the spells, bringing along another creature counts as an additional use of this ability for each additional creature brought. She may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + her [[#Skipper Focus|skipper focus]] ability modifier. She must be at least 9th level to select this skipper talent.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}}:''' A skipper gains one of the feats from the list as a bonus feat. She must still meet the prerequisites for these bonus feats. This skipper talent may be selected multiple times, each time choosing a different bonus feat: [[SRD:Combat Reflexes|Combat Reflexes]], [[Dash (3.5e Feat)|Dash]], [[SRD:Dodge|Dodge]], [[SRD:Exotic Weapon Proficiency|Exotic Weapon Proficiency]], [[SRD:Improved Initiative|Improved Initiative]], [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]], [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] (any skipper class skill).

'''{{Anchor|Bring Along Skip}} {{Su}}:''' When a skipper with this talent begins skipping, she may move an adjacent willing creature with her. When she ends her skip, she leaves that creature in a safe unoccupied square adjacent to her. She may continue her movement as normal, even potentially moving other creatures with her skip.

'''{{Anchor|Bypassing Skip}} {{Su}}:''' When skipping, she only needs either line of sight or line of effect for her skip (instead of both).

'''{{Anchor|Dodging Skip}} {{Su}}:''' When a melee attack is made against the skipper that fails to hit, she may take an [[SRD:Action Types#Immediate Action|immediate action]] to skip away, though her skip feet cost is doubled for this movement.

'''{{Anchor|Extra Skip}} {{Su}}:''' The skipper gains 20 feet of extra skip per round.

'''{{Anchor|Fast Movement}} {{Ex}}:''' The skipper gains an enhancement bonus to her speed as a [[SRD:Monk|monk]] while wearing [[SRD:Armor|light]] or no armor and carrying less than a [[SRD:Carrying Capacity|heavy load]].

'''{{Anchor|Focused Decisive Strike}} {{Su}}:''' When making a decisive strike, the skipper may add her [[#Skipper Focus|skipper focus]] ability modifier to the damage. Additionally, the range at which she can make a decisive strike increases by 30 feet.

'''{{Anchor|Free Directional Skip}} {{Su}}:''' Whenever a skipper uses her skip class feature as part of forced movement, or as part of an action that requires her to move in a straight line, she may skip in any direction of her choice.

'''{{Anchor|Full-Attack Skip}} {{Su}}:''' When taking a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions#Full Attack|Full Attack]], the skipper is no longer limited to only taking a [[SRD:5-Foot Step|5-foot step]] as her only movement. She may spend skip to move after each attack she makes in this manner. Any space she makes an attack from counts as a space she occupies until the end of her full attack, such as for the purposes of [[SRD:Flanking|flanking]].

She must have either a minimum [[SRD:Attack Roll#Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] of +6 or [[SRD:Two Weapon Fighting|Two Weapon Fighting]] to take this skipper talent.

'''{{Anchor|[[SRD:Evasion and Improved Evasion#Improved Evasion|Improved Evasion]]}} {{Ex}}:''' This ability works like [[#Evasion|evasion]], except that while the skipper still takes no damage on a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against attacks, she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]] skipper does not gain the benefit of improved evasion. She must have [[#Evasion|Evasion]] to take this skipper talent.

'''{{Anchor|Improved Uncanny Dodge}} {{Ex}}:''' The skipper can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a [[SRD:Rogue|rogue]] the ability to sneak attack her by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more [[SRD:Rogue|rogue]] levels than the target has skipper levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge from a second [[SRD:Class|class]], the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the [[SRD:Classes|classes]] that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a [[SRD:Rogue|rogue]] must be to flank the character. She must have [[#Uncanny Dodge|Uncanny Dodge]] to take this skipper talent.

'''{{Anchor|Judder Skip}} {{Su}}:''' As a swift action, a skipper can spend 30 feet of skip for the round to count as being in two squares at once, flickering rapidly back and forth between both spaces. Upon activation, she judders herself into an unoccupied space adjacent to her starting space. Any targeted effect on her has a 50% of failing (similar to the ''[[SRD:Blink|blink]]'' spell) unless it targets both instances of her. She acts as if in both squares, but is still limited to the same number of actions. Movement is split between her instances how she chooses. At the start of her next turn when the effect ends, she chooses which space to occupy.

'''{{Anchor|Rewind}} {{Su}}:''' As a [[SRD:Move Action|move action]], the skipper may return to the position she was in at the start of her turn the previous round, regardless of range, line of sight or line of effect, though the space must still be unoccupied. This ability uses 30 feet of skip.

By expending an additional 30 feet of skip for each earlier round, she may rewind to that previous round's location.

''Note: It is advisable to place tokens on any maps used to note these positions.''

'''{{Anchor|Ride Along Teleportation}} {{Su}}:''' A skipper with this talent can transport herself alongside another creature that uses a teleportation spell or effect within 30 feet of her as an [[SRD:Action Types#Immediate Action|immediate action]]. If the user is unwilling, the skipper must first succeed at a skipper level check (1d20 + her skipper level + [[#Skipper Focus|skipper focus]] ability modifier) opposed to a DC of 10 + caster level of the effect + the user's main casting ability modifier if any. If the user is willing, or the skipper succeeds at her check, she travels along in a relative position to the teleporter, arriving in a relative position at their destination. The skipper may then spend any amount of skip feet as a [[SRD:Action Types#Free Action|free action]] usable outside of her turn to reposition herself by the amount of skip feet spent. If the teleporter was unwilling she may also spend her skip feet in the same manner to move them off course, potentially into danger.

Additionally, she may make a special check to identify [Teleportation] and similar effects, in place of [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] (arcana) or [[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]]. She adds her [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] modifier and her skipper class level for these checks.

'''{{Anchor|Riding Skipper}} {{Su}}:''' While mounted or controlling a personal vehicle, the skipper can take her mount or vehicle with her as she skips so long as she has no other passengers or riders. Unusually large mounts or vehicles may be deemed too large to skip with her.

'''{{Anchor|Skip Swap}} {{Su}}:''' The skipper gains the ability to swap positions with an adjacent willing creature by using some of her skip as a [[SRD:Move Action|move action]]. The amount of skip used is equal to her space plus the adjacent creature's space. Example: If she is Medium and the willing adjacent creature is Large, she uses 15 feet of skip.

'''{{Anchor|Skipping Withdraw}} {{Su}}:''' After making a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions#Full Attack|full attack]], the skipper can immediately use any remaining skip she has for the round to move, but her skip feet costs double for this movement.

'''{{Anchor|Subvert Anchor}} {{Su}}:''' As a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]], the skipper can attempt to subvert a ''[[SRD:Dimensional Anchor|dimensional anchor]]'' or similar effect on herself or an area she is included in. She must first succeed at a skipper level check (1d20 + her skipper level + [[#Skipper Focus|skipper focus]] ability modifier) opposed to a DC of 10 + caster level of the effect + user's main casting ability modifier if any. If she succeeds, the effect is negated for her (removing the ''[[SRD:Dimensional Anchor|dimensional anchor]]'' from herself or allowing her to freely skip within the area). Regardless of success or failure, she is left [[SRD:Fatigued|fatigued]] for 1 round.
