The ability specifically states:Slow FallBeginning at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your monk level.I know in 3/3.5e the monk's ability required them to be within reach of a surface to slow their fall. Using that ability, the fall was reduced in terms of height. A 50ft fall could be treated as a 30ft. But in this version, it's just a flat damage reduction, regardless of the height of the fall.</blockquote>
