[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5993596, member: 40413"] [GM]The climb will take at least half a day of travel, perhaps more if there are incidents on the climb (i.e. failed skill checks). +2 for Waltor's expert knowledge of the trail. +2 for the climbing equipment purchased in Gist (listed in the first post). +2 for flight (Sylvain only). I think it is reasonable that because of the length of the climb and the limited duration of Sylvain's flight that it provide a bonus to his checks rather than replace checks. This bonus is cumulative with the other bonuses (i.e. stacks with the equipment bonus) because I figure he'll use both to his best advantage. Taking 10: If this were a normal single skill check then I think taking 10 would be perfectly fine. Because this is a skill challenge encounter that will earn xp I don't think it unreasonable for slightly different rules to apply and ask you to make the roll. Borric can examine the way ahead but is unable to match the supernatural knowledge exhibited by Waltor. I'll allow Strength checks and/or Reflex saves to mitigate some of the bad effects of failed skill checks. When the time comes I'll ask for those checks. Note: Because of my requirement that everyone make at least one check, I've made the DC fairly low so don't stress about this. Thanks for your input and your willingness to attempt this.[/GM] [/QUOTE]
