[QUOTE="Esiminar, post: 889486, member: 6331"] I know it's a bit late, but to bring this back on topic. I have a table that lists how fast and how far you have fallen in vacuum. [CODE]Time(s) Speed(m/s) Distance(m) 0 0 0 1 10 5 2 20 20 3 30 45 4 40 80 5 50 125 6 60 180 7 70 245 8 80 320 9 90 405 10 100 500 11 110 605 12 120 720[/CODE] Terminal velocity for an average human with arms and legs spread is about 55 m/s So converting that into feet [CODE]Time(s) Speed(ft/s) Distance(ft) 0 0 0 1 33 16 2 66 66 3 98 148 4 131 262 5 164 410 6 197 590[/CODE] Terminal velocity: 180 ft/s You reach terminal velocity in about 5½ seconds having fallen 500 ft, in the last half a second of the round you fall a further 90 ft. Giving a total of 590 feet fallen in the first round. Every round after this you fall a further 1,080 feet. This is all assuming you are the same weight as an average human and falling as a skydiver however. If you want speeds for an un-braked fall the "Storm Lord's Keep" 670 ft. in the first round, 1,150 feet in subsequent rounds is probably a good average. [/QUOTE]
