It sounded to me like you were saying that what was more commercially viable was to sell your basic falling damage idea as if including the ideas for complications is too much of a task for the design process.I was disagreeing with the above in that you could have your falling damage for your basic binary approach but advice could be given on how to run more complex skill checks.I mean just look at what they did with tool proficiency in Xanathar's.Honestly I think it starts with the rulebook.Somehow we imagine D&D players to thick to read, but when it comes to other modern games where player input may be more common, players don't need special friends to help them understand.</blockquote>
