You attune yourself to the rhythms and movements of the city around you. As long as you are in an urban environment, your base land speed increases by 10 feet and you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks made to climb building walls (but not natural surfaces) and on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to move across urban surfaces such as roofs, broken pavement, piles of crates and boxes, and the like. When you make a long jump between two buildings or similar artificial structures, you can jump a number of feet equal to your Strength score even if you do not move at least 10 feet before your jump; if you do move at least 10 feet, you can add 5 feet to the distance of your jump.

In addition, you do not treat crowds of people as difficult terrain. If you gain cover from people between you and an attacker, your bonus to AC provided by that cover is increased by 1.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you increase the spell’s duration to 10 minutes if you use a 2nd-level slot, 1 hour with a 3rdlevel slot, or 8 hours with a 4th-level slot.
