[QUOTE="Taed, post: 5175432, member: 89454"] I'm DMing a group where something similar came up. There were some baddies on the other side of a small waterfall and I had told the group that everyone would be able to walk through the waterfall fine as difficult terrain except the Halfling who would probably be knocked down because of her low weight. So, they turned it into their advantage. The 20 Strength Half-Orc used a standard action to throw the Halfling the 10 feet through the waterfall. I had the Half-Orc do a Athletics check DC 15 to get the throw on target through the waterfall, and he succeeded. The Halfling then had to do a DC 15 Acrobatics check to land on her feet (a move action), and she succeeded. Then the Halfling used her standard action to throw her dagger at the closest target, using first strike and also scoring a critical hit and killing the first baddie. To top it all off, the wizard had walked through the waterfall, didn't like the targets for whatever reason, and used his standard action for ghost hand to retreive the dagger (non-magical) from the now-dead body and return it to the Halfling. It was a good way to start that encounter! [/QUOTE]
