Oops!  sorry, I got confused.  My apologies.

Are we making an athletics check to cross? Is it with advantage because of the rope?

Yes, an Athletics check with Advantage from the rope would be appropriate.

Greetings. Thank you DM for giving me a chance here. I can't read what you replied to me in the PM, it says nothing is there. Most odd, never saw anything like that in all my years here.

Strange... I resent you the information.

Everyone, welcome the new Dargrimm!

Welcome, New Dargrimm!!

I hope to pick it up quick. We'll see. Been playing D&D for 43 years, this is my first 5th edition game! I only played Basic thru 3.5 and the OS clones. Skipped 4th. Good games with the old editions are getting scarce here.

I've also been playing for a while, almost 40 years, and I'll say 5th edition hasn't been too bad.  A few quirks different from 3rd, i think

Welcome! We've gone through a few different Dargrimms, I think. We're happy to have you and willing to help you learn 5e. If you have any questions, just ask!

In reply to Dargrimm Ironbeard (msg # 530):

Ah, another 3.5 veteran then.

I started 3.0 in 2000 and moved to 3.5 when it came out.

Welcome!

In reply to Dargrimm Ironbeard (msg # 534):

Started straight on 3.5 edition around the time when Complete Warrior had been published recently. So around 2003-2004.

I also technically started with 3.5, but I didn't stick with it. I didn't really get into TTRPGs until about 10 years ago when I started playing Exalted.

I started with AD&D 1^st edition in 1981. It's been a trip.

In reply to Gascon (msg # 537):

Ahaa, which edition exalted? I played most in the 2.5 errata edition for many years.



Oh, quite a trip indeed for you. I was born in 80's so no first edition for me. I did play in the second edition (through computer games; Baldur's Gate series/Icewind dale, THACO stuff).

I've been in a 3E campaign since the core book came out.

@GM: Could Gascon brace himself like Daphne did at the river and turn himself into the thing that the rope is fastened to?

In retrospect this is the part where picking the smallest, lightest, and least strong member of the party to scale the cliff was a bad idea.

Indeed, bit tricky situation. Also reason to have a climber kit as it provides a piston and hammer to hammer pistons down.

I don't think that would end up well, Gascon... Remember, though, that there are hand/footholds in the cliff.

I am found to fall to my death, I just know it

To climb, Athletics get added to the roll? I'll learn all of this before I die, I hope! How many are left, just me to climb?

Yes, everyone's been making Athletics checks.

Dargrimm and Qamar still have to climb. Qamar wanted to go last.

Yeah, I'd like to go last. So it looks like you're up. :)

Indeed, it's straight Str check but if have profiency in athletics skill, you add profiency bonus along with your Str modifier. But with rope and pull up assistance you get advantage.

Also likely the DC is lower as well cause of circumstances.
