The terminal velocities will be pretty different, but the initial acceleration will be extremely similar. This is not complex physics. I am very unclear why you think they will accelerate significantly differently. And you leaving out air resistance is your decision mate, but it makes your figure even less accurate.Re: the cloud, is a 1" cube (i.e the blast area) in 1E terms 10x10x10 or 5x5x5 or some other dimension? Either way it's not getting anyone not actually in the pit with it.Also I finally got the 1E MM open and you left out how it's 50% chance that an impact, not 100% as the trap implies. And I'm not sure smoothly dropping into goo counts as an "impact". And as it has 0 HP and no HD any fire damage at all does indeed insta-kill it.</blockquote>
