   * If someone is scaling a wall, fence, rampart or stockade,  he will attack at Disadvantage and be attacked with Advantage.  Also, when scaling he may attack (no two-handed weapons) or use a shield, not both.  Scaling a fortification wall, tower or building requires a ladder or pile of something.  Scaling a fence or rampart doesn't require a ladder, but does require an athletics/str check to succeed.  Horses cannot scale walls, fences, ramparts, walls, towers or buildings.
   * An attacker has Advantage if they are unseen by their target through either stealth or magic.
