Playtesting: IG's 'The Making of Heroes'

You all make good points. I guess in reality it wouldn't really take much to to wrap your arms and legs around the rope and move yourself across. The main thing I was concerned about with the strength check, however, is being able to hang on with the addition of your body weight while you're trying to move across. I suppose it'd make sense to use the characters weight to modify the ACP, if applicable, and then use a DC 10 climb check?

I'd prefer Aramil do the hand over hand, legs wrapped around the rope horizontal climb lol. I woulda replied in the IC thread, but......... thought the ooc thread would make less clutter.

Indeed. I'm going to let him make it across without a climb check, but it'll be at one-quarter speed, just like the skill. I think that's reasonable.

Dang that knot!!!!

Is the bridge cut on our (forest) side or the far (fort) side?

The bridge isn't cut at all. The ropes loop around the thick posts in the ground, it and looks as if the ropes on the forest side have simple been detached from them.

Well then, what are we waiting for! No way is Dowkan going to shimmy across some piece of rope tied by an elf when he could use a perfectly sound bridge!

I'm confused.....it didn't sound like that at all from the initial description. So is the bridge dangling from one side of the chasm, or not? And if so, from what side? As far as I could tell from the initial description, the bridge was dangling from the far end and effectively useless.

The ropes have been detached from the posts on the forest side, causing the bridge to fall and dangle from the tower side.

Apparently this entire encounter needs a bit of work. But hey, that's what we're here for, right?
