[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7795523, member: 16814"] Ah. I have done a thing I can't mention to some participants, but from your formatting error I see that my understanding of odds is being questioned with regards to the DC 25 I set above? If so, I fully understand the odds. I almost always set DCs between 10-15, occasionally 20, and rarely higher. I also know that a rogue or bard with appropriate expertise can hit a DC 25 about 40% of the time by 12th level. I also generally dislike ability checks that replicate class features from other classes. So, yes, imitating a slow fall will get a low probability of success from me, with a high risk. The implication here is that you shouldn't do this. If you care to note, the DC for reducing damage by half dropped to a 15 and the risk was the loss of a turn of actions (but still being able to move), which steps down greatly from the DC25 double damage. I incentivize appropriately to my tastes, and it's not a lack of understanding on my part of odds. In fact, it's quite the opposite -- I very much intended that result. [/QUOTE]
