I had a lot fun bypassing certain encounters with a 10ft ladder. In a series of games we had to climb to the top of crates in a warehouse that were unstable and had a high DC to climb. Instead used my ladder. Later we had to climb up into a warehouse from below in a boat. Again used the ladder. It was. truly amazing how many uses there are for a ladder. Later I accessorized it with fishing bouys so it could float, had a pair of prosthetic hooks so I could hook it over an edge, and lastly I replaced one of the rungs with an immovable rod.
