[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7314545"] Hmm. I'm actually sort of surprised nobody else has chimed in on this. It's just the sort of thing that gaming nerds (like myself) LOVE correcting other people on. Anyway, I doubt your physics professors have lied to you (although I suppose it's possible) and I definitely think you should believe them over some random dude on the Internet, but I also think you forgot that they said, "blah blah blah...in a vacuum." Yes, in a vacuum mass has no effect on acceleration due to gravitational force. But unless I mis-clicked and I'm in the Star Wars forum I don't think we're talking about combat in a vacuum. Also, the gravitational force is usually covered in about two weeks of a physics curriculum, so if you have had "quite a few" physics professors, and they've "all" talked about this...I'm having trouble parsing that. Have you taken intro mechanics quite a few times? Ha! Another poster in this thread trying to play the "I've been gaming a long time" card. Funny. Anyway, a round in 5e (and 4e, and 3.5e) is 6 seconds. [/QUOTE]
