I was talking about long jumps. Jump 5 feet forward and you can keep climbing up for eternity.
First, you would need a lot of actions to do that. Even a 5 ft jump is a move action. Second, the rules for falling still exist, so you can't ever allow yourself to end your movement or you'd probably qualify for falling. So if you're going to do it, at least use a Raptoran or something where falling isn't a major setback. Or you need a jump check so big that gravity can't keep up. Dare I say Chuck?  |

....wait..... what? please for the love of pelor explain that one Line of commoners, one mile long. Each one readies an action to pass the first thing passed to them down the line. Front of the line gets a weasel or a pig and passes down the line. Distance traveled in one round: One mile. Speed needed to do so: A shit ton. Result: Pig is launched from what is effectively a rail gun, something takes massive damage. That's the basics behind this idea. |

Falling damage kind of does. yeah, but the problem is that without DM intervention, our weasel cannon requires DM fiat in order to do any damage, other than the normal damage a thrown weasel will do (probably about 1d6). |

the most effective optimization is the one you can actually get away with.  (A group of nerds are called a murder because like crows we are anti-social, like shiny things, and often squack at each other over nothing for hours) I often have to remind people not to underrate divination. The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.

That's basically the "pass the bucket" trick but trying to assume real world physics. (Un)fortunately, D&D has a "cease and desist" order on real world physics. |

I believe the commonly accepted rule is "whenever someone brings real life physics into a discussion on D&D, a catgirl dies."

That makes it a good thing then, doesn't it?  At least in 3.5 they sort of tried to make the rules work in a physically correct way. As the example shows, they didn't really succeed, but I still like seeing it as a starting point for a lot of rules. Edit: I'm not talking about rules governing anything magic of course. |

I own your soul now.I can see what you see not, vision milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone, whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be.
