Athletics (usually using your Strength modifier allows you to perform deeds of physical prowess. When you use the Escape basic action, you can use your Athletics modifier instead of your unarmed attack modifier.
Forced Movement
The Shove action can force a creature to move. When an effect forces you to move, or if you start falling, the distance you move is defined by the effect that moved you, not by your Speed. Because you're not acting to move, this doesn't trigger reactions triggered by movement.
Athletics Untrained Actions
Climb [A]
|
Move
|
Requirements You have both hands free.
You move up, down, or across an incline. Unless it’s particularly easy, you must attempt an Athletics check. The GM determines the DC based on the nature of the incline and environmental circumstances. You’re flat-footed unless you have a climb Speed.
If you are carrying more Bulk than your strength modifier (minimum 1), your Athletics check made to Climb is treated as one category worse.
Critical Success You move up, across, or safely down the incline for 10 feet.
Success You move up, across, or safely down the incline for 5 feet.
Critical Failure You fall. If you began the climb on stable ground, you fall and land prone.

Using your body, a lever, or some other tool, you attempt to forcefully open a door, window, container or heavy gate. Without a crowbar, prying something open takes a –2 item penalty to the Athletics check to Force Open.
Critical Success You open the door, window, container, or gate and can avoid damaging it in the process.
Success You break the door, window, container, or gate open, and the door, window, container, or gate gains the broken condition. If it’s especially sturdy, the GM might have it take damage but not be broken.
Critical Failure Your attempt jams the door, window, container, or gate shut, imposing a –2 circumstance penalty on future attempts to Force it Open.

If the water you are swimming in is turbulent or otherwise dangerous, you might have to attempt an Athletics check to Swim.
