[Skills help] tumbling tumble Syntax: tumbleTumbling allows the user to seek protection from melee attacks by dodging and rolling in such a way as to place the target character in harm's way in your place. This tactic is not of much use against an enemy formation, but it can be used to retreat from your own front row in a pinch. This ability is effectively the opposite of rescue. Tumbling is one of the few maneuvers that can be performed while prone. See also: rescue prone
