D&D 3E/3.5 - [3.5] What did they do to improve Spider Climb?
By Mia Horton
Actually drnuncheon, on page 69 phb it says that creatures with the climb speed or characters under the effects of a spider climb spell still have to make climb checks. Although they can take 10 and also get a +8 to their check. Hmm, the spell says they don't though, so, *sigh* errata.
I like all the changes to spider climb, as drnuncheon pointed out, people often didn't take off their shoes/boots whatever like they should've by the rules. And I like that people and creatures with climb aren't superglued to the walls.
