[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4039162, member: 2067"] And they also mean that if the fall is only from a horse, dealing 1d6 points of damage, that he WILL survive. Because he would have to be a very bizarre character indeed to be 30th level and have 6 or fewer hit points. They're closer to demigods. Read the link above.
