[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2150455, member: 18701"] How does this scenario play out? PC #1 Init 20 Winged NPC #1 Init 15 PC #2-4 Init 1, 5, & 10 PC attacks, yadda yadda NPC uses attack action to throw rope and entangle PC, then move action to fly up and lift him 50ft in the air. The NPC will use a free action to let go of the rope so the PC falls to his death (he can let go this round for free, right?) 1. When other PC's are involved; what is actually going on with the falling PC during init 1-10? 2. If they want to catch him, do they have to hold their action until a certain init? 3. Is the PC falling this same round during the other PC's inits, and if so, do you keep track of how far he's fallen during the other PC's inits to determine when they can catch him (on which init he'll he'll hit the ground)? I've read discussions that suggest a PC would fall 500ft a round, so I'm using that rule. I hope this makes sense. I'm having a hard time explaining my confusion. [/QUOTE]
