Variant: Falling
Select a Terrain Die
d1 for deep water
d3 for deep snow or sand
d6 for adobe or wood
d12 for rock or metal
Calculate Initial Damage
- initial damage = (Fall Height × Weight)1/3
To use kilograms & meters, multiply the initial damage by 2
Intentional Jumps
Make a DC 20 Intelligence or Wisdom check to lower the terrain die one level
Accidental Falls
Subtract a Strength or Dexterity save from the initial damage
Damage
Multiply the remaining damage by a die roll based on the Terrain type
P.S.
Before trying to use this "in game" know the creature weights. This can be as simple as using the average weight of a creature sizes (adjusting for common sense) and adding a box for weight on your character sheet. You will also want to calculate the maximum initial damage based on the weight, which is (24 × Weight)1/2
