Climber’s Kit — Pathfinder 1e Equipment

Climber’s Kit

Source Core Rulebook

These crampons, pitons, ropes, and tools give you a +2 circumstance bonus on Climb checks.

Cost, Weight and Edition

Pathfinder 1e: 80 gp; 5 lb. The +2 circumstance bonus applies to Climb checks made with the kit. It is not a bonus to every skill check, and it does not make a climb automatically successful. These figures come from the Pathfinder Core Rulebook equipment entry, also reproduced in the Archives of Nethys. Do not use them as D&D 2014 or 2024 equipment rules without checking that edition.

Using the Kit at the Table

At a wet castle wall, ask who carries the kit, where the first climber can place pitons, and how the others will follow. The kit helps with the climb; it cannot secure an anchor in rotten masonry or prevent a fall on its own. For the wider equipment list, return to Tools & Kits.
