Title: Balcony Diving
Post by: Earmouse on April 18, 2009, 05:53:14 PM
There's this neat balcony on the Outer Wall Forest you can access from the Gobsquat Caves. It'd be cool if we had the option to jump off the balcony into the water. Could make for a daring escape technique!

Jumping from that high, tends to kill you on impact when you hit the water, assuming that its as high as the golden gate bridge above the water.

Certainly some sort of tumble save to climb down vines to get out of the Ziggurat at many of these balconies would be nice.

It's really really really really hard to die via impact into water, Relinquish. People who jump off bridges usually die via drowning.

People also can't fire fireballs from their hands in real life. More dashing heroics imo.

If you plan to do so, Alert the DM, wait for the DM to pause game, and teleport you there.

I'd rather Dms spend their time with more useful things, but that's just me.

If you can jump over a chasm in full plate by rolling a 20 on your tumble check, I say yes for this. :)

This reminds me of the Rock w/ Rope in EFU:UD out in Underdark:East.  It would require a tumble check to go up and down.. or you took damage as you fell below.  Perhaps something like that could be implemented on balconies.

But if you fail the tumble check you fall down into jagged rocks and die.
