Dexterity to Climb?

[Saldiven]

Quick question:

Is there any trait/feat/class ability/whatever that replaces Strength with Dexterity for the Climb skill?

[Orodhen]

Halflings have a trait that lets them replace a Str based skill with Dex.

Anything that makes you tiny, like reduce person on a small creature, would allow you to use dexterity instead of strength for climb and swim.

There's a trait that lets you use Wisdom instead... That's the closest I can recall.

Hrm. Wouldn't be a terrible option. Working on a design for a Goblin Vexing Dodger and trying to circumvent the Str penalty; I was going to ride with the 8 Str.

Not really sure how combat effective he'll be, but the image of a Goblin climbing all over his target like some deranged spider with a knife is amusing to me.

I feel stupid, I thought you were looking for a way to get rid of losing DEX to AC.

Skill focus? It would "override" your penalty and end up giving you a net gain.

I would look at monkey style though, it could have some helpful stuff. Maybe a monk dip. (Kata master maybe?)

Wisdom in the Flesh lets you replace one STR or DEX based skill with Wisdom.

Intrepid Volunteer is the Halfling one.

Kind of wish there was a reverse for those, make dex based skills str based.

Shifter 5 with the Mouse aspect can do that as medium sized race.

That feat wasn't available until November 2016, which postdates the last pre-necro comment in this thread.

The main ones I want to make str based are acrobatics having strong leg muscles should allow you to jump better and balance better, disable device I mean I guess we have sunder already but why not?, escape artist it just simply scales better than just flat str to break the thing tying you up, fly stronger wings should mean you get better at flying to help counter the penalties from being larger, and ride being strong enough to maneuver your mount.
