[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7750758, member: 92239"] Give me an example of spell damage you'd like modeled and I can give you the way to do it to stay consistent with the system as presented. As to falling it's pretty simple really. Choose a height beyond which it's pretty certain you're going to be immobilized or incapacitated due to impact. - In my estimation this is 15 feet unless you've got some sort of acrobatics/tumbing skill, 25 feet if so. Fall of appropriate height drops you to some percentage of or 0 HP automatically and may provide an appropriate effect at the discretion of the DM. - Tumbling mitigates some damage or avoids effect depending on how the DM works it out at his table. Spell Damage types usually break down to the following. - Direct damage - best suited for HP use as normal - This is combat, thus abstraction works. Auto hit doesn't mean armor doesn't soak. - AOE damage - best suited for HP use as normal - This is combat. Don't stand in fire. - Damage over Time - again, abstraction works, this is combat. DoT doesn't mean that armor doesn't soak or you have good endurance or some other explanation. Heck, part of being mortal in a fantasy world where magic exists could be that the more you're exposed to magic the more resistance you build up to it until you really decide to go off the deep end and play with things you really shouldn't.
