Walk up to a half way decent climbing tree and guess how quickly you can do it, and how many times you have to restart.  Then attempt.   Most people find its not as easy as it looks. Yet, under stress people can sometimes do amazing things.  There are plenty of stories of out of shape vacationers scrambling up trees to escape bears, trees they could never normally climb up...funny what a little adrenoline can do (of course some of those bears followed them up and it didn't end well).  The bottom line is its very difficult to predict how difficult things are to do (esp. if they don't regularly do those things and its under stress).  Thats why 3Es D20 resolution system (where the PC always knows his chance to do any base thing) doesn't seem exciting (or particularly realistic) to many players who have tried it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
