Is that an athletics, acrobatics, or dexterity check?

You only need checks for the hard stuff - the challenging part of this is the leaping tackle, I'd say. Balancing on the beam is easy, and the person is "safe" once they're knocked over.

So, a single athletics check to leap-tackle would do it. That's the heroic bit, that's the bit that gets the dice roll.

You... could argue there's a stealth check first, though.

Definitely add a stealth check! Yes!
