[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 4159525, member: 32164"] I would guess that the rules will have something like those for zones in [i]Mastering Iron Heroes[/i], which treated the zones as part of the encounter, raising its threat level, and dictated what kinds of effects are appropriate at what levels. Where those falls go, and how easy it is to fall in, should depend greatly on what level the PCs are. For example, 1st-level characters shouldn't be adventuring in places with sheer drops, narrow bridges and rivers of lava. Given that they might be pushed, pulled or otherwise moved about the battlefield, that kind of terrain would be extraordinarily hazardous. On the other hand, falling off a bridge into the cold water below, and having a chance to grab the rope railing? That's much more reasonable. The threat level should match the ability of the characters to survive it. Or, as I tried to say in another thread, only Gandalf should be the one falling off the bridge in the Mines of Moria.
