I think I've found something stupid...

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?

Then there's the Sudden Leap manouever...

And the "throw yourself towards the ground and miss it = flying" trick.

What about the commoner-powered weasel cannon?

....wait..... what?


please for the love of pelor explain that one

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.

RAW though there isn't any rule governing inertia.

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).

Dude, the weasel railgun cannon assumes the DM went out to smoke dope.

well, I guess that so does Pun-Pun then..... but at least that works by RAW only

Now, Ok, that's even more stupid.
Hillariously entertainingly stupid, but still stupid.

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.

Alright, I want to know where you've been that has actual catgirls of any level of attractiveness.
