Speedy ascent text says:
"if you succed on a climb check to move at least 10 feet, you can move an extra 10 feet as a part of that action"
Now don't matter what it is this Speedy ascent, but only explain me... Is that 10 feet extra movement a normal movement or a climb movement
Ex. If i make a climb check to move me for 10 feet i can climb another 10 feet, or if i climb 10 feet i can move another 10 feet when i reach the top of a building on an horizontal surface?

And if my charater has a climb speed? i could make my climb check and move 30 feet and so on another 10 feet, because horizontal or vertical surface is the same for a PG with a climb speed. Right? thanks a lot

05-14-07, 10:22 PM The extra movement is made "as part of that action" and as such can be used in whatever way you are capable of, since a move action does not necessarily contain only one kind of movement. (i.e. if you have a very high speed, you could swim, jump, climb, and then walk, all as part of the same action, so long as you succeeded on the checks). Check with your DM before you use this or similar skill tricks to move in a different manner than the originating movement; he/she might not agree.

Horizontal and vertical surfaces are not treated the same, not even by creatures with Climb speeds. Read the portion of the Climb skill regarding creatures with Climb speeds.
