[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8197410, member: 71699"] Do you feel that calling for a Strength (Athletics) check to climb is justified under the RAW for any of the following circumstances: [LIST] [*]A character in the throes of a tropical disease - that causes them to have a weak and uncertain grip - wants to climb up a rope? [*]A character wants to climb up a rope as quickly as possible - throwing caution to the winds - as they desperately flee some horror!? [*]A character wants to grandstand in a life-imperiling fashion as they climb up a rope? [/LIST] Aside from the circumstances described, it is an ordinary climb, so that we can get at whether those circumstances could make an ordinary climb risky. There is danger however: the climb will be high enough that the character could die if they fall. They are 2nd level, alone, and have no resources other than their ability scores of 12 and proficiency in Athletics that will bear on the climb. [/QUOTE]
