05-30-05, 12:57 PM Is there equation for working out how much damage an object does when it hits a monster/ player according to its weight and speed.

ie. how much damage would something do if it weighed 100 pounds and it hit a charchter moving at 60 or 120 mph. ??

Falling maxes out your damage to 20d6, no matter how far you fall.

In the real world, terminal veliocity (the fastests a human can fall no matter how far up they start) is about 120 miles per hour. (+ about 5 mph if you scrunch up into a ball)

I would use that value for 120 mph.
