[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8479263, member: 29398"] Easy: the player is trying to hide the PC's actual abilities - and for some inexplicable reason forgot to mention this to the DM ahead of time. The player wants to fail the climb check, or at least have it appear much more difficult for the C than it really is, to help prove "No, I'm not a Rogue. Never!" :) I've seen this done fairly often, and done it myself, where a PC comes in to the party as one class but hides a second (or hides their actual class) until such time as the other PCs figure it out or the class gets forced into the open by in-game events. I had a Druid-Thief PC of mine come into a party once posing as a Ranger and managed to pull it off - he ran with them for one adventure and then retired with none the wiser... :) [/QUOTE]
