In that regard, by the end of the next round they fall "all the feet" / exit the scene in a "bottomless" fall scenario or hit bottom in any semi-survivable fall. They -do- have some small time to act amidst their fall, perhaps enough to use a movement power (like teleport) or a free action. More importantly, the potential victim's allies have an opportunity to try some sort of heroic intervention on their own turns - like dashing across to the edge of the cliff face and catching them by the collar before they plummet to their death.Maybe you'd just rather model such an action as a Reaction that costs the PC their next turn's action as well. There are viable ways to model such a cost appropriately.By the end of the turn after the fall triggers, the victim has dropped "all the way" unless you have a very specific sort of scene in mind, like a huge aerial battle on dragon-back where someone is knocked from the saddle and someone dives down trying to catch them, etc. In that case you probably just need to design a sub-system to fit your tastes. Physics doesn't make those scenes nearly as much fun as they could be.Marty Lund</blockquote>
