As far as I know, they're still in P&P 3rd E, they're just not in the game because they would be useless due to limitations of the engine. There are no walls you need to climb anyway.[/QUOTE]I don't know. If my thief could climb walls I would have used him to scale over the walls at the Goblin fortress to check that place out. I also would have liked to check out that old house on top of the cliffs on the way to destroy the dam. Also if you were getting your butt kicked in hand to hand and needed a safe place for your thief to sit, you could have him climb a wall and just wait until the fights over. I could think of quite a few uses of it.[/QUOTE]What I meant was that AFAIK it would've been extremely difficult to implement climbable walls into the game because the Infinity Engine just isn't cut out for that. So they just skipped that whole skill altogether rather than giving the player a completely useless thingy to assign skill points to. Of course you could think of uses for climbing in certain in-game situations, but as it is implemented, you don't need it because it isn't there. [img]smile.gif[/img]
