A creature with lesser climb has a +8 racial bonus on all Might checks to climb. The creature must make a Might check to climb any wall or slope with a DC higher than 0, but it can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened while climbing. The creature retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus to their attacks against it. If a creature with a lesser climb speed chooses to make an accelerated climb as a move action, it moves at double its climb speed (or at its land speed, whichever is slower) and makes a single Might check at a -5 penalty. If it fails this check, it falls back to its starting position, wasting the move action.
Lesser climb does not allow inverted surfaces to be navigated (e.g. ceilings), without a very difficult Might check.
- Prone: If a creature with Lesser Climb is knocked Prone, he falls to the ground, taking normal falling damage.
- Difficult Terrain: A creature with Lesser Climb is subject to movement penalties caused by difficult terrain.
- Permitted Movement: A creature with Lesser Climb cannot charge, make 5-foot steps, run or withdraw while climbing.
- Overland Travel: Lesser climb cannot be used for overland travel outside of combat.
