Nosave climb/nosave fall

[MeTekillot]

A nosave that will make you never move into another climb room unless you pass the climb check. A critical climb fail could still cause you to fall into the next room. To denote when you are climbing very carefully.

[BadSkeelz]

Why would you not have this on all the time?

[MeTekillot]

When you're being chased by something or are otherwise harried that you would be in a hurry and be actually likely to fall off a cliff due to your lack of caution.

[BadSkeelz]

Eh, I don't buy it. Wouldn't you just keep this on, then just mash U or D until you pass a climb-check? Would you still expend stamina on your attempts (in which case this is really no different from the code now)?

[MeTekillot]

I'm just spitballing ideas for climbing up be the only moderately safe way to climb.

[CodeMaster]

Tangential, but ... I would love it if you could see how challenging a climb is for your character - kind of like how you can see the quality of a tool by assessing it.

(but maybe there are no different difficulties in 'climb' and I was just imagining it)

[Barsook]

I dig that assessment for climb.

[BleakOne]

I still don't know how someone can fall on their neck without falling on their head

[BadSkeelz]

Watch Million Dollar Baby.


(then imagine there's stools in every room with an U tag)

Or that one scene in Breaking Bad.
