[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7114345, member: 83242"] I like it. One thing I would change is that some of the damage should be variable. First, that is the 5e D&D way and there are variables in a fall that could lessen the damage. Maybe the first 50 or 100 feet have variable damage and then add your static increase after that. Based on another a tangent I was involved on in another thread, you could look at size having an effect on damage. [MENTION=6787650]Hemlock[/MENTION] double the falling damage per size category. That seemed to harsh. I suggested using HD since that is based in size. So the variable damage would cause d6 (Small0, d8 (Medium), d10 (Large), d12 (Huge), or D20 (Gargantuan) damage per foot or speed of fall. Then subtract the creatures size x2 from the distance of the fall. Maybe the following for a medium creature: Distance / Damage: 10-19ft / 2d8 20-30ft / 4d8 30-49 ft / 6d8 50-99ft / 8d8 100-199ft / 8d8 +30 200-999ft / 8d8 + 100 1000-1499ft / 8d8 + 110 1500ft+ / 8d8(max) + 110 [/QUOTE]
