Falling damage: Difference between revisions

Falls can also cause creatures to be knocked [[Prone]] when they land. A fall will always cause a creature to be knocked prone if it deals more than 25% of their maximum HP, meaning falls of around {{Distance|m=8|ft=27}} for characters without resistance to falling damage or {{Distance|m=12.3|ft=40}} for creatures with resistance to falling damage. Creatures that are resistant to bludgeoning damage but not falling damage specifically will still be knocked prone from falls of {{Distance|m=8|ft=27}} despite receiving only 12.5% of their maximum HP in damage.  

A creature that falls from a height of {{Distance|m=5.4|ft=17.7}}, with no resistance to falling damage, would be expected to take damage equal to 2% of their max health + 1% for every additional {{Distance|m=0.2|ft=0.6}} of height after damage begins, in this case giving us 2% + 7% or around 9% of a creatures max hit points from a {{Distance|m=5.4|ft=17.7}} fall. As the fall was less than {{Distance|m=8|ft=27}}, the creature will not fall prone.  If the fall was caused by a shove or throw and either creature is wearing the [[Callous Glow Ring]] then the creature that falls will also suffer an additional 2 radiant damage.
