[@EruditeAssassin] Yah, Athletics does not apply to attack rolls. Generally no skills affect it as it pretty much is just raw attribute + proficiency.

Say, if you were kicking down a door the athletics would likely kick in. Or scaling a wall. Or swimming across a stream. But not on attacks, those run on the attack roll + damage roll system separate from your usual skill checks, much like saving throws. I hope I helped you understand it :)

EDIT: I'm assuming that you were making it as an attack, given the situation.
