Stop a fall with an action?


Rules Discussion


A monk, on their turn:

During their first action of moving, falls off a ledge.

Bottom of ground they are falling to is 800 ft. down.

Fails Geab an Edge reaction.

Monk still has 2 actions left. Can they use one action to activate Wind Jump to gain a fly speed and then use the final action to fly up an amount?

Or is the Monk's turn ended suddenly, falling the 500 feet for the round as the rules might imply?

2 actions left. Nothing indicates they lose their remaining actions. I would completely allow them to fly up somewhat. You need to adjudicate how far they would fall on the first round though, since they did not start the round falling.

And, at the start of their next turn, they get their reaction back. I would allow them to make another Grab an edge attempt.
