[QUOTE="pressedcat, post: 2987742, member: 40736"] Thanks for the link, as that wasn't the book cover that Amazon was showing me (though it looked very similar). If the characters rope themselves together when crossing, i'd probably rule that if one of them slips, an adjacent pc can roll as normal to catch them (ie catch DC=10+slope's DC) even if there's more than 5ft between them, and without the normal touch attack, and also let up to two other pcs attempt to aid this catch test if they are adjacent to either the person falling or the person making the catch test. If the pcs string a rope across the slide zone, i'd probably give a +2 circumstantial bonus on all climb tests. The biggest problem would be getting the donkeys across, as they wouldn't be able to use a rope to aid their climb, and it would be difficult to use a rope to brace the donkey due to it being at a higher level than the people either side on flat ground. Also, anyone care to estimate how much a donkey weighs? I'd guess around 20st (280 Ibs), so probably beyong an average persons max load, so a single person wouldn't be catching a falling donkey. Maybe let a couple of people escort the donkey and make a joint catch attempt. Possibly if someone walking the donkey was to make handle animal attempts to lead the donkey along the safest root, I'd give a +2 circumstance bonus on the donkey's climb test.
