Hello,
So I am DMing a game and a situation of one of the monsters my PCs where fighting was pushed off a Cliff. First time it came up in the game so we looked up the rule and I did not like the Saving throw answer.
I came up with a house rule and I wanted to get some opinions on it.
Forced off a ledge you make an immediate "save throw".
1-9 = You fall
10-15 = You fall, and catch yourself on the ledge hanging there. On your next turn you must make an Athletics check to pull yourself up as your move action. Taking a -2 penalty to the check if an enemy is occupying the last possible standing square as if they were trying to "stomp on your fingers" to get you to fall. If they are there and you succeed you move to the closest occupiable square available. With no OA for passing an enemy. (Due to them trying to stomp you.) Otherwise you just move into the closest occupiable square.
16-19 = You fall prone in the last occupiable square.
20+ = You move to the last occupiable square and do not fall prone.
Please give me feedback and possible ideas for a more comprehensive rule. Thank you for reading.
