| − | Let's dive right in. There are several factors to consider related to falling, each of which alter the impact.<br>
| + | ===== Calculate a Fall DC ===== |
| − | <strong>Elevation</strong> grants matter space to accelerate; increasing the impact speed.<br>
| + | * Fall DC = (Fall Height × Weight)<sup>1/3</sup><br> |
| − | <strong>Mass</strong> grants the growing speed a force, leading to an exchange of energy that can disintegrate material.<br> | + | <sub>To use kilograms & meters, multiply by 2<br><br> |
| − | <strong>Location</strong> defines the strength and slope of terrain, influencing the rate of the energy exchange at impact.<br>
| |
| − | <strong>Body Position</strong> influences the fall speed, location, angle of impact, final deceleration, and position of the vital organs.<br> | |
| − | <br> | |
| − | === Your Fall ===
| |
| | | | |
| − | The fall height and your body weight form the basis of a damage factor (DF), which may be incrementally reduced by other factors.

| | + | Subtract a Strength or Dexterity saving throw from the fall DC |

| − | * <strong>Fall DF = (Fall Height × Weight)<sup>1/3</sup></strong>
| + | ===== Damage ===== |
| − | OR
| + | Multiply the remaining fall DC by the outcome of the Terrain die roll |
| − | * <strong>Fall DF = Fall Height<sup>1/3</sup> × Weight<sup>1/3</sup></strong><br>

| |
| − | === Step 1: Choosing a Terrain Die === | |
| − | | |
| − | Selected for a range of likely hazards specific to each area.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Terrain Materials:
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d1)Waterfall: wax, snow, rubber, perlite
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d2)Moorland: sand, gravel, gypsum, balsa
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d3)Tundra: clay, dolomite, ice, cedar
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d4)Forest: travertine, cypress, hickory, elm
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d6)Urbana: sandstone, ironwood, soil-cement
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d8)Cavern: rhyolite, shale, limestone
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d12)Labyrinth: granite, slate, marble, basalt
| |
| − | | |
| − | (d20)Treasury: sapphire, gold, porcelain, coral<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Step 2: Rolling a Fall Save/Check === | |
| − | | |
| − | ;Strength/Athletics or Acrobatics
| |
| − | Reduce the Fall DF by an amount equal to your roll.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ;Intelligence/Investigation or Survival
| |
| − | Reduce the Terrain die once every 10 points of your roll.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rule 1: One skill may replace another during a multi-round fall but they do not stack. Your chosen skill represents your focus, but not the totality of your effort.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | === Step 3: Generating Fall Damage ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Roll the Terrain Die and multiply by the remaining Fall DF.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rolling a single time reflects one location among the terrain, reducing predictability of fall damage from great heights.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rule 2: Preparation may be awarded with advantage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rule 3: Interference during the fall triggers disadvantage.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | === Useful Additions ===
| |
| − | ==== Quick Jumps - Parkour ====
| |
| − | A player may spend up to 30 feet of cumulative movement per turn falling, rolling for each fall separately.

| |
| − | ==== Turn Order ====
| |
| − | Elevation updates are placed in the order of turns by taking yhe initiative of the failling creature minus 6, or however many seconds remain of the fall.
| |
| − | * <strong>Fall Duration = Fall Height<sup>1/2</sup>/ 4</strong><br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | ==== Terminal Velocity ====
| |
| − | Your Fall DF will not increase beyond this fall height.
| |
| − | * <strong>Maximal Fall Height = Weight<sup>1/2</sup> × 120</strong>
