Falling damage question

Good work, Callahan.

Obvs, the DM can still make it work any way he wants, particularly to instill a sense of drama.

For shorter than 10' intervals (particularly at low levels when the overall distances are likely to be short) I will add in a d4 or d6: eg fall 15' and take 1d10+1d6.

Yes - and I'll often use a d6, occasionally a d4 or d8, for falling damage less than the '10 feet straight down onto hard surface'.

[MENTION=463]S'mon[/MENTION]: Yep. In one situation, I think the drop was 200' but into water, so I assessed it as if it were 100' ie 10d10.
