My PC's are aboard a ship, and one of them is up in the fighting tops. While reading the climbing rules to see how people can get up to and down from them, I wondered whether or not one can, by RAW, "run" while climbing.
And if you can, since you grant CA anyways, there seems to be no reason not to "run" to get more climb speed by RAW.
This seems like a good candidate for the Dysfunctional 4e RAW thread the Playground occasionally considers making. The language is clear enough: climbing "can be part of any of the creature’s actions that involve the creature moving", and running is both a move action and an action that involves moving. There is one other penalty to running, which is the attack penalty until your next turn, but that probably won't have much effect.Quote:

I wasn't planning to do anything about it, for the reasons you stated. Asking more out of curiosity.Quote:
