ropes grappling hooks and makeshift ropes
« on: January 07, 2018, 05:08:41 am »

basically what it says add use for ropes by letting adventures tie rope to a tree, rock ect and let the rest down so you can climb down to a lower area safely but has a chance of snaping and makeshift rope same thing but made out of clothes,sheets,bags ect anything made of cloth they are more likely to snap or for you to lose grip and grappling hooks made of rope and a grapple made at a smelter (metal) or a craftdwarves station(rock) let you get to higher places but you have to throw the hook and depending on how good your throwing skill is and if there is anything to even hook onto you will succeed or fail and if the grapple is made out of a weak metal or rock it could break while you are climbing causing you to fall or the rope just mite snap and may you be asking "couldn't i just climb a wall" or "doesn't this just make the climbing skill useless" well in a way yes it just make is *easier* not 100% success it just makes the likely hood of you losing grip and falling less so but also add the risk that the rope will snap or the grapple will break

There's already like 1% chance of a grip failing even with Novice, so there's that.

Most of this suggestion is planned anyway, but if you have any more depth to suggest it always helps.

During two or three releases ago, when Jumping got added, Toadyone and ThreeToe expirmented with rappeling and rope ladder, and the like. They either didnt like it or had to move on.
