[QUOTE="BASHMAN, post: 3800352, member: 8277"] The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Tiny or smaller creatures take 1d3/10' fallen Small creatures take 1d4/10 feet fallen Medium creatures take 1d6/10 feet fallen. Large creatures take 1d8/10 feet Huge take 1d10/10 feet Gargantuan [is that what comes after huge] 2d6/10' fallen each step up add a d6 /10 feet. On a related note: Tiny & smaller get +8 to climb checks small gets +4 to climb checks Medium gets +0 Large gets -4 Huge gets -8 Gargantuan -16 etc Why? The bigger you are, the larger your hands, the bigger your fingers, the harder it is to find hand holds-- especially ones that will support your weight. This is why kids are better at climbing than adults in general. They have less weight to lift up, and the climbing surface can support it better-- and it is easier to find cracks that are small than it is to find big ones. Now a professional climber-- someone with high level and lots of ranks in climb-- will still be better than some kid-- but in general smaller is better. Also, climb should be Dex or STr- whichever you'd rather. [/QUOTE]
