Slow Fall
- Usage: Active, Toggled Stance
- Prerequisite: Monk, class level 4
Description
Your focus allows you to bend nature around you to make gravity have less effect. This is an active feat, and can be turned off should you desire normal gravity to affect you.
Notes
- This feat is granted at levels 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 for a total of 9 times.
- The Monk must be centered to use this ability, and its ability to reduce falling damage increases every two levels. In practice, even when this feat is turned off, a monk falls more slowly than he would normally.
- This class feat does indeed provide a reduced gravity effect as the name suggests, but for the physics-minded of you it does so exactly as it should, scientifically speaking. It does not affect the maximum speed you can reach in a fall due to the effect of gravity, it merely affects the rate at which gravity will increase the speed of your fall, and thus your damage on landing, until acquiring Perfect Slow Fall at Monk Level 20. What this means in applicable terms is this: at lower levels of Slow Fall, it will reduce the damage you suffer when falling only on small to medium falls. On longer falls and at higher levels, even with the reduced rate of acceleration, you still have time to reach the maximum fall speed for that distance and will take identical damage whether you use the feat or not. Unlike Feather FallingFeather Falling: This item is engraved with feathers and bestows a powerful magical effect. Whenever the wearer begins to fall from any height, this effect slows the descent dramatically, causing the wearer to fall like a feather., monks do not glide as far with Slow Fall in effect, making a feather falling item still useful.
