[3.P] Highly Acrobatic Combat

[TotallyNotEvil]

A friend has discussed a RWBY-themed campaign using 3.P, fortunately with the intention of heavily using ToB/PoW, so that helps tremendously in allowing everyone their move actions while still being effective.

Does anyone have any tips/house rules to allow for the sort of acrobatics and agile combat we see in the show? Or at least something close enough mechanically that the rest can be fluffed in without too much trouble.

Also, this monk build (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?285801-Tippy-s-Terrifically-Terrible-Trial/page25&p=15474863#post15474863) throws his entire body via +1 throwing unarmed strikes. (He throws his whole body, fist or feet in the lead, instead of doing rocket fists.) Note that throwing one's body like this on a full attack (especially on a flurry, and with distance and Far Shot) means you get a lot of 3D movement going, and you can move a LOT faster than just running. (Note that aiming for a 5' space has an AC of 5, so feel free to throw yourself at a mid-air space and throw again, if you need some mid-air maneuverability.)

Since some PF is available, look into the dimension door (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/dimensional-assault/) feats, and combine them with ToB's teleportation maneuvers. Isn't there a PrC that allows for full attacks whenever you teleport...?

There's also high ranks in Tumble for maneuverability around obstacles (including enemies), and the Up the Walls feat, from the XPH.
