Jumping from stuff

[ahp77]

Has anyone thought up rules for this?

[Blitzen]

Rayhawk did. You can leap 5" across and 1" high. Falling damage is calculated by the Charge rules (Chapter 5.4).

What more is there to rule on?

[ahp77]

the damage to thou who was hit by the falling minifig

[IVhorseman]

again, it's a collision between two objects. there's nothing different here.

[ahp77]

I was originally thinking about the multiplying effect of gravity and how that would affect the collision

[IVhorseman]

... what? what the hell are you talking about?

[Blitzen]

Gravity's somewhat accounted for in the Charge rules.

[ahp77]

Gravity's somewhat accounted for in the Charge rules.

Not when your falling on someone.

And IV, GO RETAKE THIRD GRADE.

Ah, the irony.

[Dr. X]

HAHAHAHHAW!!

Oooh.. yeah.

[ahp77]

I'm starting to believe Blitzen is right in saying I'm boneriffic, [nerd]even though it comes from retard, which I think means something along the lines of 'slow'[/nerd]as I didn't comprehend the last two posts

[IVhorseman]

No, i mean that "multiplying the effect of gravity" doesn't make any sense, ESPECIALLY in the brik world. you can't just hit a button and go "hah! double gravity!" space-time doesn't work like that!

[ahp77]

while falling, gravity makes you fall faster. Parachutes were made to almost nullify this. But in this case, there's a kamikaze scotsman falling from a 40,000 foot tower, without a parachute, and he lands on a giant.

That's the kind of multiplying effects of gravity I'm talking about

[Blitzen]

That's somewhat accounted for in the Charge rules. You could also do some physics, but I doubt you would want to.

What's the terminal velocity of a LEGO minifigure?

[Rody]

terminal velocity of a minifig?,
yeah, I'll calculate that later, when I don't have a hangover.
