Dungeon Exploration- Grappling Hooks

Throwing a grappling hook and securing it can be a tricky and critical maneuver.Here is a chart with suggested score to resolve with a d20 roll. Attacks bonuses and dexterity modifiers may or may not apply.

Grappling Hooks Table

Soft Metal 14/18 16/1812/1416/1814/15

Exceptional Material 12/14 14/1510/1214/1511/12

The first number in each entry is a successful catch but it will slip free if weight is put on it. It takes a round to safely test for to see if a thrown hook has securely caught hold. The second number is a secure hold.

  2. This rules! One of those little things I never feel right about handwaving in the heat of the moment. Copied to GM notebook.
