Clinging is the ability to cling to any substance without fail. The only way to do that realistically is with Van der Waals force like geckos.

Wikipedia said suction and sticky mucus.

GURPS doesn't have rules to see if you can walk under normal conditions, why do you suppose it should have them to see if Spiderman can climb a wall? Geckos probably also sometimes "trip" too, BTW. |

Okay, Mr. Fellow Pedantic-man: Wall walkers fall significantly more often than even clumsy walker me face-plants after tripping.

...so if you're using it to model something real (but much more complex) you look for Limitations to represent this?

I'm actually unsure whether a clinger has to roll to hold on after taking injury. I only remember that he has to roll to catch himself after a fall.

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#17): Brachiator; Clinging; Super Climbing
Any playable character with clinging won't be realistic. It would be a very odd game if it involved non-sapient geckos. Perhaps he can be friends with the psychic muffin.
