Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shin Okada" data-source="post: 4468817" data-attributes="member: 1956">20d6 cap is usually enough to save a high-level character from dying by falling.For example, an average 11th-level mage has 4 + 2.5x10 =29 hp without con modifier. With point-buy, many invest at least 6 points in con, resulting Con 14 (+2). And mages often prefer Amulet of Health over Amulet of Natural Armor and alike. Assume this mage has at least Amulet of Health +2. Now his HP is 29 + 33 = 62. Expectation value for 20d6 is 70 and thus he has a good chance from avoiding death (-10 hp). He still likely to need a save for avoiding death from massive damages, though. The wound damage house rule is what killed your PC instantly. Introducing that kind of rule will make something not meant to be that deadly by RAW into a deadly thing.If your party is of 11th-level, Raise Dead spell should be available. It will still save your character. Your PC will lose 1 level but thanks to 3.5e Xp gaining rule, you will eventually catch up with others.And, I suggest you to re-discuss with your play group if that wound damage house rule is making your games better or not, before playing the next session.</blockquote>
