Ah good Avidreader514, my old friend.. I am so already there. This is better than the Blindness/Deafness question. ;) Spoiler: Yeah, I'm running the risk of being spotted by my players, so I posted under this moniker. On the other hand, they're a good bunch. Also, I haven't described how they might fall.
Thanks guys! I did misunderstand how Stoneskin works... Thanks for clearing that up! It still comes down to whether I let it the spell mitigate the falling damage for 10 points or not.. Seems like there are mixed opinions.
Extra wrinkle here for you wise folks to consider: I'm not so much worried about the DR reduction of 10 points (I'm not that much of a tightwad that I can't give a player the benefit of the doubt on a potential 10d6 fall), I'm interested in whether this uses up the hundred or so points of absorbed damage that the spell conveys. But I guess the two go hand in hand? If I let the PC reduce the spell damage by 10 points of DR, then their spell buff is going to absorb the rest. They could walk away unharmed but that spell is going to take a beating. I do appreciate all the time and energy this question has garned though. I'm not asking just to ask, I forsee somebody with a high level stoneskin falling a hundred feet next game session.
I wouldn't think it would, but I want to verify. Stoneskin protects against weapon damage, including blunt weapons. But it would not mitigate falling damage would it?
Whoa. That avatar pic is hawt. Why did that one get used? And I would have gotten away with it, despite my apparant lack of motive and seemingly irrelevant introduction at the start, if it hadn't been for you kids and that pesky Tarrasque! |
