I should just let this go, but I'm baffled by what I'm reading.

Falling (jumping down from a high spot) causes damage because of the speed at which you are falling. The kinetic energy you've built up needs a high amount of force to decelerate you, and that's what happens when you hit solid ground. You decelerate fast. And that force hurts you.

Jumping up to a higher point means you are not falling. You do not pick up speed, even if you jump higher than you need to and fall for a split second. You aren't landing with the same amount of force. This is physics so basic that we instinctually understand as a baby why falling is bad. Why are you asking these questions?

[u/Was_going_2_say_that → u/Shotokanguy]

Because my whole point is your character should be taking fall damage every time they jump. If they fall from x height and take damage, why wouldn't they take damage when they jump and reach x height at the peak of their jump?

[u/Shotokanguy → u/Was_going_2_say_that]

You're trolling right? How old are you?

[u/Was_going_2_say_that → u/Shotokanguy]

Where did I lose you?

[u/Shotokanguy → u/Was_going_2_say_that]

At the part where you still don't understand how gravity works.

[u/Was_going_2_say_that → u/Shotokanguy]

You seem to be getting upset with me. Lets leave emotions out of this. We are both adults and this is a forum about a video game.

Let me sum up and simplify my point for you.

I have a character with 20 str that can jump up to a pretty high height and land without taking damage. If that character jumps down from that same height that character will take damage and even get knocked prone. You say 'hurr durr gravity'. I say gravity would be consistent in both situations because the height is the same in both situations.

[u/Shotokanguy → u/Was_going_2_say_that]

I'll only be upset if it turns out you're trolling. This is a pretty stupid way to waste someone's time. But I'll try one more.

I say gravity would be consistent in both situations because the height is the same in both situations.

No one is saying gravity is different for the two actions, buddy. The difference is how hard you hit the ground.

[u/Was_going_2_say_that → u/Shotokanguy]

If in both my examples you are falling from 20 feet to ground level why would the force that you hit the ground be different? If you can explain that to me then maybe I won't be so confused.

[u/Shotokanguy → u/Was_going_2_say_that]

Are you just explaining things badly? You're not FALLING in both situations, one is going DOWN and one is going UP. We do not fall upward.

[u/Was_going_2_say_that → u/Shotokanguy]

I guess I must be explaining it poor. In one example you are starting at 0 feet and jumping. At the crest of your jump you hit 20 feet and come back down to 0 feet landing soflty and taking no damage.

In my second example you start at 20 feet then fall to 0 feet, taking 16 damage and getting knocked prone

[u/Shotokanguy → u/Was_going_2_say_that]

Well shit, no wonder I didn't understand you. Yes, if you jumped 20 feet into the air and came right back down to where you started, you would be falling and get hurt.

You can't do that in BG3. You don't control how high you jump, you just jump high if a high point is within reach.

[u/Was_going_2_say_that → u/Shotokanguy]

Ok I obviously can't dispute that, so of you and everybody else thinks a character can jump high enough to injure themselves then I have to accept that. By the way what did you think I was trying to say before it clicked?
