[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7247933, member: 6816692"] The question is: What's a high level character supposed to survive? And I guess our mileages may vary much. Now I'm not that much into 5E, but we discussed other systems as well, so I'd just add some random thoughts: I wouldn't really let a character take damage from a fall that's not exceeding the height he can jump (some characters can get incredible speed and jump to ridiculous heights) There should be a minimum falling distance to really take damage for large creatures. For example, Tormyr's chart lets a gargantuan creature take more damage from a 10 ft fall than a medium sized one. But a gargantuan creature falling 10 ft. should be the same equivalent as a medium sized creature falling 3 ft. Because drag (which leads to terminal verlocity) is only one part of the equation. Structural stability is the other. (Yes I know HP cover that as well, but falling from a 75cm equivalent shouldn't do lethal HP damage.) Ref or acrobatics to mitigate some damage should be appropriate. Cats exist, you know? [/QUOTE]
