Hi, Everyone.

I'm GMing a game and Wednesday the players, which are all new to PF2, will encounter a situation where they must either climb a 15-foot wall or a 30-foot cliff. The DC for the cliff is 18 and I'm guessing the wall is around 30. I'm guessing at least one player will use a grappling hook so I'm preparing for that, but the information I'm finding isn't very specific. What bonus will a grappling hook provide to climing the cliff and wall?

In the 'Core Rulebook' (p. 290) it says a grappling hook "make[s] the climb easier."
The climbing kit (p. 289) says it includes a grappling hook, but it doesn't give a bonus to climb unless it's the Climbing Kit Extreme that gives "+1 item bonus to Athletics checks to Climb."

Any thoughts on the bonus of just a grappling hook?

Thanks.

Rise of the Runelords is a little out of date . . . I would recommend Age of Ashes, the first 2e AP, if you want to get into the world as it exists in the P2e campaign setting.

Thank you for the suggestion. I went ahead and purchased 'Hellknight Hill.' There is a player that is talking about wanting to GM, so I may postpone reading through it until I know that either he's not GMing the next game or at least isn't running that adventure path.

I believe it also has more globetrotting than Rise of the Runelords.

Sounds good to me.

I dabbed a little with Pathfinder 1E and I recently decided, after some research, to fully commit myself to Pathfinder 2E. I want to better understand Pathfinder's world, so I've been considering running "Rise of the Runelords" since it was the first AP. Is this a good idea? Do you think it would be difficult to do the conversion? And why is that AP popular?

Thanks so much in advance.

My players and I are new to Pathfinder 2e, and we're running into new rules situations regularly. I have a player who's is playing a goblin monk and he loves jumping on other PCs' shoulders to do things like fight. I want the players to be able to attemp anything they can imagine as long as it's reasonable, but I do want to stick with the rules to maintain consistent balanced mechanics. What do you suggest for rolls dealing with a monk first jumping onto someone's shoulders and then fighting there? Should there be first a High Jump roll? Should there be an Acrobatics roll after a successful jump, every round to maintain it, or after every attack or received hit?

Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming a player can choose a lower level feat if they wish, but I just want to verify. If you know the page number and/or quote the rule that would be great.

Thank!

See page 469 of the CRB

Step 2: Act wrote:

If you begin a 2-action or 3-action activity on your turn, you must be able to complete it on your turn. You can’t, for example, begin to High Jump using your final action on one turn and then complete it as your first action on your next turn.

Edit: and ninja'd!!

It's okay. =) Thanks for your help.

"If you begin a 2-action or 3-action activity on your turn, you must be able to complete it on your turn."

Thanks! That's perfect. =)

I'm watching a video about thievery and at one part the person shows a rule that two actions are required per attempt and they cannot be split up between rounds. I've been looking through the core rulebook and online and I have yet to find where it says it can't be split. My group hasn't been splitting actions up, but I want to know for sure what's going on in case it comes up.

Here's the video:

It's at 7:12 in the video where he mentions how attempts can't be split between rounds.

Please give a page number for where it says it can't be split.

Thanks!
