[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 8114650, member: 6804070"] Yes I'm the DM, thx. In 5E it's called a "Potion of Climbing" and the SRD says this; It doesn't say what it means to have a climbing speed. Though in general I find the part about advantage to be... strange since in general if you have a climb speed (or fly, or swim, etc) you do not need to make a check to use that type of movement. Maybe that assumption is wrong too? I've never had a character with a climb speed ever make a check to climb. I guess if something like an earthquake hit or they had to make a save to prevent getting knocked prone I would give them advantage vs Athletics, but I've never had a character with a climb speed make such a check. And the section on Movement says this; Note, of particular relevance, imo, is this part of the description for a Cloak of Arachnida; So I would tend to think the Potion of Climbing would not grant this feature, but since it's not explicit anywhere, I'm looking for advice.
