General Feat (Prerequisite: Strength or Dexterity 13+)
This is a sport but also a group of useful skills which is known in many names around the Mythic Earth: Fierster Ljepper (Netherlands), and Salto del pastor, Shepherd's Leap (Canary Islands)[1], (TODO probably others). This feat is not exclusive to the Yaranaika campaign.
You gain the following benefits.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Long Pole Jump. You can jump over streams and channels using your long pole, either with a single jump using your pole, or leaping to the middle, balancing your pole vertically on the bottom, and climbing up the pole to increase distance.
Shepherd's Leap. You can descend a distance up to 30 feet using your pole without taking damage nor going prone with your move action. You need to carry a smooth pole and use a lubricant, traditionally goat's fat. This maneuver doesn't normally require a roll. For more distance, or in difficult conditions, a Dexterity (Acrobatics) roll may be neccessary.
