Landing on your head.


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I was thinking if you fall and land on your head you should automatically take max damage. Does this seem reasonable.


That would require a cursed item, since there is a magic item that makes it so you always take minimum damage.

Do it the other way around. Roll the damage and then say what you think happened to the player. If you roll really heavy then yeah they landed head first. If they got off really light say they managed to roll with it a bit. If you rolled nothing but ones the player managed to crash into something soft.


There's no mechanic for landing on your head vs landing another way.

Your house rule would need other rules to make it work.

*Does this seem reasonable!

You forgot to properly punctuate.

My suggested rule is that if you fall on your head you make a fortitude save or die. Realistically, you’d break your neck.

How ‘bout we flip a coin! Heads up they land heads down.

What? How? I'm not seeing it.

Stop spreading hurtful lies about me.
