Climbing

Attributes: .................Strength & Constitution

Level: .........................DF: 3 BCS 40%; 500 Exp

The character has experience in making accents up difficult surfaces using handholds, footholds and using techniques and specialised climbing equipment.

A character’s climb speed is dependant on his skill in climbing and the type of equipment he has available if any.

• 1 foot per AP expended if using a rope that is secured overhead

• 1 foot per 2 AP expended if using handholds and footholds in the surface being climbed.

• 1 foot per 3 AP expended if unskilled.

The distance that can be climbed is a matter of STR and CON modified by a character’s fatigue levels. See the table below Climbing Distance. This shows the distance a character can climb at a cost of 1 FP, the cost assumes the PC is climbing sheer rock face, wall or trees using available handholds and footholds.

The character should make a check every 10 feet climbed to determine if the accent is going well or not. Apply bonuses or penalties (+/- 5-50% depending upon the difficulty of the climbing conditions, such as overhangs, distance between handholds etc. Use the table - Climbing Results to adjudicate the degree of success or failure.
