I seem to recall a Feat that allowed you to actually climb a creature suffiently larger than you, but I don't remember the name or the sourcebook. Can anyone help?

Underfoot Fighting, tactical feat. I'll have the book in a minute, as well as a link to a build that abuses it well. IIRC on all of the above, of course.

Sorry, I have no clue. These (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=633443) two (http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-793912) threads are about fighting bigger critters, but neither mentions it.

Maybe I'm confusing it with a Class Feature?

Giantbane is a tactical feat from Complete Warrior, which grants this as a combat option.

You have to move beside a creature (at least) two size-categories larger than yourself; on the round following that, you make a free climb check to grab onto them, and you then occupy some of their space. If it moves, you move with it. It can attack you, but at -4 to all rolls due to it being awkward.

It can also try to shake you off with a grapple check, opposed by your climb check. Meaning at high levels you're gonna get thrown-off easily if you don't have some huge climbing bonuses. It can be accomplished with enough magical aid; just be sure to be on good terms with a wizard who can craft you stuff to help.

Giantbane was the one I was thinking of. I missed it because Tactical Feats have their own subsection. Thanks for the help, everyone :smallsmile:

There is also a weapon style feat from Dungeonscape called Hammer and Piton, which let you, suprise suprise, hammer pitons into your enemy. The fun part is that now you can climb them :smallbiggrin:
