"Levitate" spell

[Spiffy Has]

It'd be completely appropriate if wizards/sorcerers/certain clerics can be able to cast 'levitate' and allow them to automatically succeed climbing checks or otherwise allow them to cross areas that require a grappling hook.

[Ziya]

All my yes. ._.

[Spiffy Has]

Granted, "Jump" can fulfill the same function, I just figured a better version of the spell ought to be available for those who choose not to invest in tumble.

Last I knew jump wasn't working.

[Jayde Moon]

Jump adds to your tumble score.  Which, to my understanding, is alway 0 if you have not invested at least one rank into the skill.

[Knight Of Pentacles]

Didn't work despite having points in it.  But that may have changed by now.  Was months ago.

[The Mentalist]

Jump works fine, but sometimes it bugs and you have to cast it twice. It's very effective as a climbing aid, but doesn't allow you to cross horizontal/vertical climbs specially tailored for grappling hooks and the like. However, there is already a levitate script in the module to do just that. Having it as a spell would surely be interesting.

[Stranger]

[hide="A minute slow"]There are potions and items that grant the levitate effect. The scripting needed for such a spell is probably on hand already.[/hide]

[Knight Of Pentacles]

Make it an "astral door" spell or something.  For diviners.

The levitate ability does not work for crossing chasms or anything that would require a grappling gun. Or if it does I am just doing it wrong and apologize for the error. In my experiences with it it only works for scaling up or down cliffs as a replacement for a climbing claw but not other types of climbable features. Again it could just be me not standing at just the right spot when using levitate. I do have a character with some levitate potions and 1/day levitate so could test it if this is not working as intended.

Pffff. Fly spell, if anything.
