So something I've mulled over is how often some class combinations will fall short for CEL focused characters due to a lack of Evade buffs in the combination. While often people have often asked for buffs to those classes in particular, I think what hasn't really been asked for is something much more generically applicable.

So I present the idea for an Evade buff anyone can make use of:

Athletic
Requirements: 20+ CEL
You don't like standing around idle for too long, preferring to use your downtime to do a little work out. Grants the user access to the Stretch skill.

Stretch
15FP, 3M
Perform a quick series of exercises to loosen up your body, gaining +20 Evade for 5 Rounds.

The drawback to this skill itself is that because it's generic, it has no added perks to it. Very often Evade buffs in class kits will either be stronger, or have some kind of extra utility to them.

While this is a very nice stopgap and I do approve.
I think I just want to point out for comedy that this is just a better Distortion. (Costs no SP, 15 FP as opposed to 26.)

Beggars can't be choosers, but god damn that skill needs something else.

Distortion's secret power is in that it can't be stolen iirc :3

In theory, distortion would still be useful as a skill that can be used on top of stretch to raise your evade further. But distortion is kinda bad in all honesty, perhaps it could get a little help.

Also if this gets added can we make it count as a "basic action" for boxer and dancer?
