03-18-07, 04:26 PM The description of the tumble skill is on page 84 of the 3.5 Player's Handbook -- the first chart there shows the difficulties of the things you can do with the tumble skill.

It's DC 15 to tumble through threatened squares without provoking attacks of opportunity, and you have to check separately for each opponent the character tumbles past.

It's DC 25 to tumble through occupied squares without provoking attacks of opportunity. Again, you check for each opponent, and if you fail you stop before entering the occupied square and you provoke an AoO.
