[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6735779, member: 6801315"] The intent of wildshape is not to make you unkillable, you can be killed in numerous ways including but not limited to outright death (like disintegrate if it brings the druid's actual HP bar to 0 and he fails a save). It does make the druid very resilient, granted. In your example, the fall would presumably deal damage. That damage would then be applied to the current HP of the wildshaped druid. If that damage brings the wildshaped form hp to 0, the druid would revert. Any remaining damage would then be applied to the druid. If as the DM you determine that the druid has no chance of surviving the fall, hence your splat is splat comment, then that's fine. That's your prerogative as the DM. However if you get into dealing damage with the fall, you can't then complain that you didn't actually kill the druid because the wildshape HP provided enough of a buffer for him/her to survive the fall. And also, killing the character with said fall should not be your goal as the DM to be clear :p And to be even more direct, if you were to fall 1000 feet, by the rules you would then take 100d6 damage with an average damage of probably around... 400~? So the odds of you surviving the fall, with damage rolled (and god who wants to stare at the DM rolling 100 d6's...), are basically 0%. I wouldn't even roll in this kind of situation if it really came down to someone falling 1000 feet after all the steps I would have taken to prevent that from happening. Though this does remind of me an encounter in Eberron where one of my players decided he wanted to jump across 2 balconeys in the city of Sharn (Both the other players and myself warned him it was a bad idea) and he fumbled his athletics. Lucky for him though he was a vampire and transformed into a bat 500 feet down when his turn came up to save himself. It was very funny to watch him fumble the roll though. [/QUOTE]
