A PC wishes to climb a wall. A caster casts Grease on said wall. What is the DC to climb the greased wall? Is it unclimbable? What if the climber has Spider Climb cast on him?
Let me add...If anyone has other good house rules, please include. Thanks.

It's not spelled out, but I'd add +10 to the climb check and require an acrobatics check to not fall off (just like on the ground).
Spider climb also doesn't spell it out. In that case I'd just require the acrobatics check and not the climb check.

I would make them roll a reflex save to even see if they can find a part of the wall to hold onto. Note that if a reflex save is failed on an item it is immediately dropped. Then I would add 10 to the dc of the climb check.
EDIT: Since Spider Climb is a higher level spell, I would not require the reflex save, but I would only give it a +2 to it's climb bonus.

Or I would give a -2 to climb check because the +10 DC from grease is two higher then the +8 from Spider Climb. yeah, I like that better. Spiders would still have a hard time climbing a greased wall.
Saves are reactive, not proactive. Making a save to do something, (rather than in response to something) is kinda against the nature of a save. +10 DC to climb checks sounds about right.
Spider climb lets you climb with no checks as easily as walking, so a DC 10 Acrobatics check sounds right.
