You guys clearly forgot how hard it was to get up that rope in gym class.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, we know it's hard. But if failure has no consequence in a given scene, then why not skip over and just assume it was done?

Pretty sure the consequence of failing to climb the rope is 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10 feet fallen

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Failing to climb is not the same as falling off. I could safely go down a rope any day. But climbing more than a foot? Not happening.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Then you get 1d6 dmg for every 10 foot fall. Which is 0, because you fell a foot.

In boots it is quite easy (if time consuming) to worm your way up by wrapping the rope on one foot and stepping on it with the other.

Or cast Burning Hands as a bonus action

Huh, I geuss I was an outlier being a skinny fuck with decent core strength, cuz the rope was easy when you paid attention to how you need put the rope around your feet.

Yeah my scrawny ass flew up that thing then let go from to top to fall into the big fluffy mat

Am I an adventurer or a fucking high schooler?

When a 10 is your average stat and the wizard dumped Strength and Dexterity at 8, you can bet your ass they’d struggle to get up a rope. Think about how strong and nimble the average person is, and how much they would struggle. That’s a 10.

10 is the average stat for an adventurer, not for an average human

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Commoner has a 10 in every stat.

That's what I came here to say. I don't care how long you give me, I ain't haulin my dumpy ass up no rope.
