again how would you handle climbing ropes under extreme pressure,thoughts please?

I don't see how this is a difficult question given the WFRP3 system... misfortune dice. If it's a 'pressure' of missle attack thing - add a misfortune die for each attacker aiming at the character... if it's a time thing, use a track and allow players to move up that track according to Strength/2 or something and allow them to increase their relative strength by 1 for each misfortune die they add to the check.

For example character with ST 3 can move 1 space on the track (3/2 round down) he adds 1 misfortune die to the pool to make his 'strength' a 4 for the purposes of climbing this rope and he can move 2 spaces (4/2 round down). If the character wants to move 3 spaces he would have to add 3 misfortune die to the pool (6/2), if he wanted to move 4 spaces he would have to add 5 dice. I would make chaos stars be slips down the track, I would make comets = and extra space up or 1 less misfortune die next round etc.

looking for others thoughts yours idea is close to mine so that was useful.

If the pressure is people attacking them. Then I wouldn't increase or modify the difficulty of the climb. They'll have enough to worry about given that they are being attacked. I would allow them to climb so far each round. Each time they get hit make them make a climb check to hold on with a base challenge equal to the surface they are climbing and a number of misfortune dice equal to probably 1 for every 2 points of damage they took. Also keep in mind fatigue. To much fatigue could cause them to fall automatically.
