-'''Scrambling''' is an [[knowledge|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|studies]] of [[Athletics (sage study)|Athletics]] and [[Mountaineer (sage study)|and Mountaineer]].  The ability lies between hiking and rock climbing, where the character scales a slope between 30° and 60° without the need for tools, relying on his or her hands and feet, and a good sense of balance in navigating challenging routes.  The method overcomes a number of natural features, including shallow rock faces, [[Scree Slope|scree slopes]], [[Gulley|gullies]], ridges and [[Boulder Field|boulder fields]].

 __TOC__
 Scrambling can be a dangerous activity for those who don't know what they're doing.  The exposed terrain, with its steep drops and challenging obstacles, requires careful route finding, solid footing, and a keen awareness of the surroundings.  Such experience not only affects the likelihood of sustaining or avoiding [[Hit Points|hit point]] [[Damage (hit points)|damage]], but also how fast the character can move over the environment.

-This assumes an [[Encumbrance|encumbrance]] that allows the character a normal movement rate of 4 AP/round.  Should the character's movement be 3 AP per round, this climbing speed is halved.  An unskilled character carrying enough equipment to lower their movement to 2 AP per round could not climb slopes of this nature.

 This means that for most characters, climbing a height to reach the mouth of a dungeon would require either the discarding of much equipment, or the hiring of porters to carry additional armour, weapons and tools for the character, or else do without.  The carrying of other heavy loads, such as treasure or wounded companions, would likewise be difficult to manage.
