Epic Path \ Types of Movement \ Brachiating
Brachiating is a means of moving through a tree canopy in a jungle or forest by swinging and leaping between branches. The creature must at least one hand free to move in this manner. The creature gains a +4 bonus on Climb skill checks; furthermore, it need not make Climb checks to traverse a vertical or horizontal surface (even upside down). A creature with brachiating retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus to their attacks against it.
- Prone: If a creature with Brachiating is knocked Prone, he falls to the ground, taking normal falling damage.
- Difficult Terrain: A creature with Brachiating is subject to movement penalties caused by difficult terrain, unless it is moving through a tree canopy, such as in a jungle or forest, which does not impair its movement.
- Permitted Movement: A creature with Brachiating cannot charge, make 5-foot steps, run or withdraw while Brachiating.
- Overland Travel: Outside of combat, a creature can use brachiating to travel overland at the same pace as a walking creature of the same speed when moving through a tree canopy, such as a jungle or forest.
