[QUOTE="IceFractal, post: 4017258, member: 27704"] As mentioned, falling 100' and walking away from it doesn't mean the system isn't simulationist. [B][COLOR=Green]Simulationist:[/COLOR][/B] You fall 100', so you die. Because falls that long will kill you. [B][COLOR=Green]Also Simulationist:[/COLOR][/B] You fall 100', take 10d6 damage, but you survived, as was expected. In this world, people who can fight dragons and win are known to be able to survive long falls. [B][COLOR=Green]Still Simulationist:[/COLOR][/B] You fall 100', and recieve 10d6 gold pieces. In this world, the god Zeppo personally rewards people who fall long distances. [B][COLOR=DarkRed]Not Simulationist:[/COLOR][/B] Long falls are known to be deadly, and will kill most things. But when a PC, BBEG, or important NPC falls, they only take 10d6 damage, because otherwise pushing people off cliffs is unbalanced. [B][COLOR=DarkRed]Not Simulationist:[/COLOR][/B] You fall 100', so you suffer whatever effects the DM and/or players deem best for the story. Side note: You, know, that's right. But in my defense, Mage Hand uses it incorrectly as well - "Target: One nonmagical, unattended object weighing up to 5 lb.", so whether they really meant mass or weight is arguable. [/QUOTE]
