+ | Climber is a [[skill]] which allows a creature to climb. Higher levels improve the chances of successfully stopping the "In flight" status (falling, jumping or being knocked back) by holding onto something and decrease the chance of losing hold when climbing. | ||
+ | To climb a surface, it must be able to be held from the side. Floors cannot be climbed. Surfaces, with the exception of tree branches, cannot be held from beneath. | ||
− | + | Trees and 1 z-level tall cliffs and buildings are always safe to climb. Unskilled climbers will often lose hold when attempting to climb walls (not trees) while "In air" - at least 1 z-level above floor. | |

− | + | In fortress mode, dwarves will not climb over walls or trees as part of normal pathing from one job to another. | |
