Odd question on Climbing

[DaveW]

We came up with a strange thought tonight while playing, and wanted to check to make sure we were interpreting things correctly.

We know that you can only take one move action when you are (or will be) hindered. Is the Climbing full action modified in any way if the Creature is hindered?

The reasoning that seems to make us ask is along the lines of: Since a full action allows two move actions, and since being hindered prevents the second move action... maybe being hindered would prevent the use of a full action to use a special move action... in this case, to climb a wall.

Our reading of the rules seems to suggest that you can still climb even when hindered. You are moving only one zone, which is allowed while hindered, for example.

Thanks in advance.

I'd say you can still climb a wall while hindered.

A full action does not allow for two move actions. On its turn, a creature may either take a full action, or move and take a quick action (including movement).

Being hindered does not prevent use of full actions.

Therefore yes, you can still climb a wall when hindered.

Thanks guys. This is how we always played it, but it was getting late and we must have been hallucinating....
