Separate questions on climbing and traps


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

First, a question about Climb. Suppose you have a PC standing on one surface who wants to pull himself up to another surface. I assume that's a Climb test, but what would the DC be? I'm thinking 5 or 10. The Armor Check penalty would account for the weight of the PC.

Second, we have a trap that makes a melee attack roll against multiple targets. Does it make one attack roll and compare to the various ACs, or multiple rolls?

Thanks!

If you are talking about a character who is able to jump up and grab the target ledge, the DC would be 15. It would be the same as pulling yourself up only using your hands.

If there is a wall with adequate footholds, it would lower the DC to 10.

Make an attack roll against each character.

In this case the PC would not have to jump. Indeed the higher surface is too high to do a standing jump up (to get their feet on the surface.) They are just trying to pull themselves up. It almost seems too simple to use Climb; but if I do require Climb then it benefits those who have ranks in it. I don't know if that changes your thoughts.

Thanks!
