Falling
When you fall from a height, you divide the number
of meters you fall by two and roll that many d6s to
determine damage. Falling damage is done to the tor-
so and it can be soaked by armor. If you collide with
anything, that thing also takes the damage you suffer.
You fall at a rate of approximately 30 meters per
round. If you are near a ledge or something similar
that can be grabbed, you can make an Athletics check
(at a DC decided by the GM) to grab the edge. If you
succeed, you take damage to your arm equivalent to
how far you have fallen.
