Mountaineering

Mountaineering(Warrior, 1)
Ability: Wisdom
Modifier: ‐2
A character with this proficiency can make difficult and dangerous climbs up steep slopes and cliffs with the aid of spikes, ropes, etc. If a character with mountaineering proficiency leads a party, placing the pitons and guiding the others all in the party can gain the benefit of his knowledge. A mountaineer can guide a party up a cliff face it could not otherwise climb. Proficiency checks are required to navigate through mountains correctly to reach a destination. Success indicates the character has chosen his route well and should avoid the hardest of climbs, granting the ability to move a 125% normal movement. Failure indicated that the character has chosen a particularly difficult route with many sheer cliffs and vertical drops, reducing movement to half its normal rate in mountainous terrain. Characters may skip the check to move at normal rate.
