Spider Climb and Jump
« on: April 17, 2010, 05:43:05 AM »
Normally, spider climb lets me climb surfaces with a 20' climb speed.

If I'm spider climbing a wall and try to Jump, what happens?  Normally, I'd have a -6 Jump for a 20' speed (climb), but if I have a 40' land speed, I have a +4 Jump.
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

I'd say you take the penalty because you're currently using a 20' speed.

This should probably have been in "Ask a simple Question, get a simple answer". It's all cool, though.

If I say something about real world physics, and someone disagrees, assume I am right 90% of the time. This number goes up to 100% if I am late night posting - trust me, my star dust sibs.

Skill Trick:

Wall Jumper     Climb 5 ranks, Jump 5 ranks     Leap from wall as if making a running jump
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

You need to make a drunken master for that due to his mastery of improvised weapons.

I'm well aware about Up the Walls.  Sometimes, spider climb must suffice.

I gravitate toward -6 because of speed.

Up The Walls

I'm sure its not intended this way but it says you fall if you aren't stood on a horizontal surface at the end of it... the ceiling is horizontal

yes, this has been a running gag for a while now. sadly, most DMs don't let it work that way.

I figure your feet stay attached, but you slide down when you run out of momentum, hence the need for a level surface.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Skill Trick: Wall Jumper      Climb 5 ranks, Jump 5 ranks   Leap from wall as if making a running jump
Up The Walls
And also Sudden Leap, jump again while in midair.
Super useful given that the DC for 8 foot up is 32 but the DC to jump up twice is 4 foot is only 16 both times.
Tiers explained in 8 sentences. With examples!
[spoiler]Tiers break down into who has spellcasting more than anything else due to spells being better than anything else in the game.
6: Skill based. Commoner, Expert, Samurai.
5: Mundane warrior. Barbarian, Fighter, Monk.
4: Partial casters. Adapt, Hexblade, Paladin, Ranger, Spelltheif.
3: Focused casters. Bard, Beguiler, Dread Necromancer, Martial Adapts, Warmage.
2: Full casters. Favored Soul, Psion, Sorcerer, Wu Jen.
1: Elitists. Artificer, Cleric, Druid, Wizard.
0: Gods. StP Erudite, Illthid Savant, Pun-Pun, Rocks fall & you die.

Tack on the maximum weight build with a warfored base and we'd have (Metal) Mario. Future build?

How does Sudden Leap work to double jump?

nothing stops you from initiating it midair.
