Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Spider Climb — This is Spider Climb — same touch-range climbing power that frees your hands and lets you walk walls and ceilings — except SW5e restricts it to metallic surfaces only (so no climbing rock or wood) and grants normal walking speed rather than a separate climbing speed. ✨
Grant a willing touched creature the ability to walk on any metallic surface — walls, ceilings — at full speed with hands free.

Until the power ends, one willing creature you touch gains the ability affix itself to and move along any metallic surface. It can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, all while leaving its hands free, at its normal walking speed.
