[Skills help] kip up Syntax: kip-up A kip-up is an acrobatic skill in which a swashbuckler transitions from a prone position to a standing position by propelling the body away from the ground. In doing so, a swashbuckler may have time to initiate a new tactical maneuver before their attacker has time to recover from the bash or trip that sent the swashbuckler to the ground in the first place.
