Other than the Athletics or Acrobatics check you make to not fall in the first place, or if you fall from an excessive distance and have time to redirect your fall.As far as diving is concerned, an Athletics check with varying degrees of success could work well: DC 5 to not fail the dive and fall instead, DC 10 to double the distance you can dive without taking damage (dive 40 feet without damage instead of 20 feet), DC 15 to triple the original distance (60 feet instead of 20), DC 20 to quadruple it (80 instead of 20) and DC 25 to negate the damage, regardless of height fallen. That way if they jump off the top of a mast into the sea (like in the movies or Assassin's Creed) they still have a decent chance to reduce their damage taken.</blockquote>
