Can the success formulas for appraising climb obstacles be looked at? This just doesn't seem right:


R>You begin to carefully study the cave opening.
You guess that this is a challenging climb.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.
R>The sky becomes completely overcast.
R>You begin to carefully study the cave opening.
You are confident that you are safer staying where you are.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.

That's the cave opening leading into the blade spider caves from la'tami in the undergondola. I have 315 climbing, 186 appraisal, and I stopped needing SpC to successfully climb it every time about 120 ranks ago, you would think that I could get an accurate assessment of it at LEAST when using APPRAISE CAREFUL (which you will note by the RT I did all three times). Either that or at the very minimum get closer to a more accurate appraisal, even if there was still a bit of doubt on the climber's part.

A good climber shouldn't have to be a good appraiser in general to be know what they can or can't climb, especially one where their skill is, using EXP RP, "savant". Could this be looked at, please?
