Ring Bonus for 'Ring of the Monkey' Issue
Just curious. I generated a level 3 monk character which had a +10 in climb and the Athletic Feat.
When I use the 'Ring of the Monkey' it raises the climb skill to +28, adding 18 to the 10. I know in the description it says it adds +8 when I have the Athletics feat but what is the other +10 for? The description I get for the skills shows the following: Skill Bonus Calculations Total Bonus +28 = 1 (ranks) +3 (class skill) +4 (STR mod) +2 (competence bonus) +8 (enhancement bonus) +10 (untyped bonus) What is the 'Untyped Bonus'? Note: This item comes from the "Freeport Players Guide / Freeport: City of" ... that's all the description I got under Sourcebooks. |
Well, 8 of it is probably the bonus to climb you get from having a climb speed. Not sure where the other 2 is coming from.

The +8 comes from the ring. The other +2 likely has a different source. Check your character to see what else might be giving you a bonus to climb. Untyped just means it's not a specific type of bonus (ie competence, enhancement, trait, etc).

EDIT: Ok I think I figured it out and Aaron provided the key. The ring description says the following with the athletics feat: 1 - You gain a climb speed equal to your land speed. (Thank-you Aaron for pointing this out.) 2 - AND you gain a +8 enhancement bonus. Climb Speed - A creature with a climb speed has a +8 racial bonus on all Climb checks. ... (Ref: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/climb/) Feats - If you have the Athletic feat you get a +2 bonus on Climb checks. If you have 10 or more ranks in Climb, the bonus increases to +4. (Ref: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/climb/) Ring - Provides a +8 enhancement bonus Wow.. To be honest that is way more than I expected but pretty awesome. Thanks for the help figuring it out. |
I think this might be the author misunderstanding the rules, and thinking he needed to mention the +8 everyone gets from having a climb speed, and for some reason calling it out as an enhancement bonus (which it is not). The result being the item granting the sort of same thing twice.

+8 untyped bonus to climb when the ring is activated +x competence bonus to climb when wearing the ring where x=DEX mod +8 enhancement bonus if you also have the Athletics feat |
Here is the item text:

The +2 from dex is a competence bonus, which is shown in the breakdown he gave above, so it isn't the mystery +2 that is going into untyped. That is actually probably from his Athletic feat.

Ah, nevermind, looks like wordpoet already worked it out above, sorry about that!
|
Great feedback everyone. Thank-you all for the help in understanding how this worked.
