CLIMB INTRODUCTION
You can use the climb ability to scale a slope with an incline that is to steep to walk, climb a rock face, scale things like fences, etc. With each successful climb check your character can move in any direction (up, down, side to side, etc) across an incline, or even a ceiling if hand holds are present. Movement when climbing is 1/4 your characters standard speed as a standard movement partial action, or 1/2 your full speed as a full round action. Failing a climb check results in your character ‘slipping’ but regaining hold, ending the turn. If your character fails a climb check by more then 5 points then he/she falls and suffers damage based on the height of the fall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CLIMBING EXAMPLES
Below is a table with some examples of different degrees of climbing, including standard modifiers that represent the difficulty of the climb against your roll check. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ADVANCED USES
It is very hard to move to avoid attacks while climbing, giving the attacker a +2 bonus when attacking a opponent who is climbing. Any time a character takes damage while climbing they must make a climb check to make sure they don’t lose their hold and fall. Falling damage is 1d6 for every 5 feet. It’s possible to create your own handholds and footholds in surface like wood or stone, with the proper tools, creating each is a full round action, negating movement. It’s also possibly, though improbable, that you can catch yourself when falling from a wall, the formula for this is DC + 20, and DC + 10 for a slope. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ACCELERATED MOVEMENT
It is possible for your characters to attempt to climb at a accelerated pace, though it is dangerous. Accelerated climbing is a full round action allow you to cover your characters full movement speed, with a penalty of -5 tacked on to the dice check. |
