Floating lightly to the ground is a rather gentle, controlled, and smooth manner. Plummetting to the ground under the influence of gravity is not. Then again, speaking from experience, if somebody plummets out of the sky onto you, "entering your square" in the process, this is generally not something that would, realistically, be counted as an opening. The motion in this case tends to be TOO rapid, and coming from a direction which is generally considered awkward for the typical human.3/3.5E, of course, doesn't have facing, even in cases where facing would seem to be in some ways implicit: While people in a fight may be able to easily rotate about and face in nearly any direction on fairly short notice, "up" is generally not one of those directions unless there is reason to be facing that way. That's part of the innate appeal and effectiveness of DEATH FROM ABOVE.</blockquote>
