[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 430665, member: 5202"] [b]Falling damage[/b] My friend was running a bit of a playtest adventure for us one time and he gave us some characters to play. I had a 10th lvl *I think* Dwarf who was a few levels of fighter aqand several levels of cleric, don't rememebr the exact blend. I pictured him as a very devout warrior and played him as such. When we were attacked by these undead things while we were on this massive ship *sides were about 300' high* and I attacked one and rolled a 1, Chris determined that my axe went flying from my hands out the hole in the side of the boat. Now this guy was ALL about his axe, complete specialist, was a pretty wicked magic axe, ,etc. He saw his axe go flying out the hole in the boat toward the water and my first response for him was "Noooooooooo!!!!" and diving out the hole after it. We tied up a little miniature we found that looked like him and occasionally lowered it as I fell cuz others in the group were fighting. While this was going on I was busy looking up the rules for falling damage for Chris and during my fall discovered I couldn't die from the damage. I ahd already cast Resist Elements:Water *since that is what I would be impacting with* and I think a Bless or something else for bonus hit points. This made the falling damage non lethal and then he rolled badly anyway, so I made it out pretty much ok. Knowing what I know now I would definitely do it again and not fear for my character's life, but for the first several minutes of his falling, I was completely sweating it and it was good. I don't think good in character reasons for doing dumb things is what Hong was talking about really, but it's a funny story and I thought it fit nicely :) [/QUOTE]
