[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9439075, member: 11"] I totally agree. “Jump off a cliff” is not a single word verb. But if they jump in place on dangerous terrain there might be a chance doing so might make them fall off that cliff anyway. But that’s just how I run it. Recently, a PC in one of my games was near a cliff edge shooting arrows from behind a rock. An enemy decided they wanted that cover and pushed him out from behind it toward the cliff edge. Since the amount pushed was beyond the lip of the cliff, I ruled the PC could use a reaction to try to grab the edge before falling. However that meant he had to drop his bow and I gave it a 50/50 chance that it falls off the cliff even if he didn’t. (I also gave him the option of trying it grab hold with only one hand but rolling the check at disadvantage). Anyway, he dropped the bow and it fell 70 feet into tall snowdrifts. [/QUOTE]
