#1 Brodomir_Rumblegut Aug 17, 2014 11:50:12	I would like some input on a new feat I thought up for underground exploration - Cave Explorer   Cave Explorer You are trained in the art of surviving and moving in natural underground environments. You gain the following benefits: You gain proficiency with the advanced climber's kit (detailed below) You have advantage on Dexerity (Acrobatics) and Strength (Atheletics) checks when needed while climbing. You have been trained in recognizing airborne chemical (poison gases) and biological (mold and fungus spores) environmental hazards and gain advantage on saving throws related to such hazards. Even if you are not trained in Survival so long as you are in a natural underground environment you may add you proficiency bonus to a Survival check to find safe food and water; if you are trained in Survival, your proficiency bonus is doubled. New Tool - Advanced Climber Kit Kit contains all the items within a normal climber's kit along with a belaying pulley, 10 carabiners, an ascending rig, and a figure eight decender. In addition to the standard benefits of a climber's kit, the advanced kit enables you to ascend climb without using extra movement and allows you to descend twice your normal movement by repelling.     Opinions? Toughts? Comments?

You gain the following benefits: You gain proficiency with the advanced climber's kit (detailed below) You have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) and Strength (Athletics) checks when needed while climbing. You have been trained in recognizing airborne chemical (poison gases) and biological (mold and fungus spores) environmental hazards and gain advantage on saving throws related to such hazards. So long as you are in a natural underground environment you gain proficiency in Wisdom (Survival) or gain expertise in Wisdom (Survival) if already proficient from another source. New Tool - Advanced Climber Kit Kit contains all the items within a normal climber's kit along with a belaying pulley, 10 carabiners, an ascending rig, and a figure eight decender. In addition to the standard benefits of a climber's kit, the advanced kit enables you to ascend climb without using extra movement and allows you to descend twice your normal movement by repelling.
(Reply to #4) NyteWalker	I really likes this, and it doesn't seem too powerful or unblanaced at all. Good work.    I think I might allow my players to take this if they so choose.
