[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8619592, member: 7026594"] As I mentioned before, for me, if it's a bare-bones/brief/generic product, where it's deliberately written with gaps, this is fine. I'll set an appropriate damage and extrapolate from there. But for most editions of D&D, if I'm buying a module for a particular edition, the details actually do matter. If the module is written for a particular level range, the designer normally specifies the distance and damage. The exact distance also matters for factors like whether whatever amount of rope the party is carrying can enable them to easily recover the person or not. Or how long it takes to climb back up after Feather Falling down to the bottom. I agree with the general consensus that if I'm writing and selling a module with an encounter in which bad guys are designed to knock the PCs off a cliff/high place, these are fairly fundamental details I should be providing to the person who's going to run it. If I don't, I've half-assed my job. [/QUOTE]
