Spider Climb and Jumping

[doktorstick]

Howdy. If you are on a horse with spider climb active and you are riding past a castle wall, can you jump off your horse and stick to the wall without touching the ground? I think so as long as you make your jump check to cover the distance. No other rolls (climb or otherwise) would be needed.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me

Sounds good to me, but I would most likely require a str check to see if the character can actually hang onto the wall once they make contact, spider climb doesn't automatically make you immune to being subjected to a force other then the force you exert. Course this is just what I would do. On second thought I would prolly only do this if the horse was moving faster then their normal movement rate. Anything double+ movement rate would require a str check, the DC would be dependent on how fast the horse is moving. Ever see a car run into a cliff face at 10mph? It isn't pretty. =op But that is my own ruling on it if I was a DM, don't really see anything particulary wrong or unbalancing with not having to make a str check to do it.

Yeah, I'd probably give you a 1d6 damage for smacking into that wall. But you could do it.

I'm thinking this would be hard to pull off. Imagine jumping off a moving car travelling at decent rate and landing sideways. I'm pretty sure you would take a spill. I think this would definitely need a high DC check.

I'd allow it no problem. Spider climb, is spider man imc.

 

[Tom Cashel]

Yeah, I'd also ask for the STR check, but at a moderate DC. Nothing too tough. Maybe DC 12. When PCs come up with cool ideas like that, it's nice to see them succeed.

 

[Bastoche]

I would require a tumble check too I guess.
