[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8192295, member: 6987520"] It isn't a "house rule", it is my ruling as DM of what a complication is. The height, and inherent danger involved, [I]IS[/I] a complication IMO as DM. So, I am justified in requiring a check to climb a rope 80 feet. It isn't like I am setting a crazy DC 20 for the check or anything due to the height, or saying a PC will fall given a single failed check. Asking for several successful checks or setting a DC based on the height and not the task would be more of a stretch, but I'm not doing that. DC 5 = VERY easy, DC 10 = easy, so I choose DC 8 (fairly easy) to climb a rope. Knot it and you gain advantage on the check. Even with [I]no [/I]modifier you make that 7 out of 8 times, throw in proficiency only and it rises to 15 out of 16 times! At any rate, I need to get ready for work. If I am not too tired when I get home, I'll revisit the thread. [/QUOTE]
