Climbing (and swimming I suppose) in exploration mode


Rules Discussion


I was wondering how people handle climbing in explorations mode.

350ft cliff needs to be scaled,Im assuming GMs dont make the player make 70 odd (depending on successes or crits) rolls?

Do GMs just hand wave it or Say "gimme one roll"?


Yup, that is how APs handle it and that is in line with how the CRB suggests handling exploration activities.


I try to match the number of rolls I ask for to the amount of uncertainty and anticipation I need to move the story ahead.

If failure doesn't change the story, then there's no need to roll dice.
