[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1034592, member: 9990"] First, a Death-from-Above is where you leap down onto your opponent, trying to crush or stab someone while knocking them prone, much like a Bull Rush. Uses could be jumping from a balcony onto unsuspecting opponents or from on top of a wall that you may have been climbing in order to get a sneak attack. I have used a Death-from-Above move in one campaign several times now, and all I ever received for bonuses was +1 for being on higher ground. No bonuses for flanking (as the PC has not been directly behind the defender) or any other such modifiers to attack, and it kinda sucks that there isn't something else for doing a 'special' move like this. Not only that, it would seem possible to do extra damage with gravity on your side to inflict a blow, but nothing in the rules says anything about it that I could find. Is there something that I am missing, or is this situation where the DM would have to house rule that a move like that would have extra bonuses to attack/damage? [/QUOTE]
