| A character cannot cast a spell while falling, unless the fall is greater than 500 feet, or the spell is an [[chargen:common_terms#action_types|Immediate Actions]], such as [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:feather_fall|]]. Casting a spell while falling requires a Concentration check at a DC of 10 + [[priority:magic:spells|Spell Tier]]. Casting [[priority:magic:spells:tier5:teleport|]] or a similar spell while falling **does not end your momentum**, it merely changes your location, meaning that you still take falling damage, even if you arrive atop a solid surface. | A character cannot cast a spell while falling, unless the fall is greater than 500 feet, or the spell is an [[chargen:common_terms#action_types|Immediate Actions]], such as [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:feather_fall|]].

| To deliberately dive into a suitable surface, such as water, you may roll an [[priority:skills:athletics|Athletics]] at a DC of 15 to avoid damage from dives of 50 ft. or less. Increase this DC by 1 for every 10 ft. past fifty, if applicable. However, the water **must** be sufficiently deep to accommodate your dive - 10 feet of depth is required for every 100 feet of falling distance, to a maximum required depth of 50 feet for a 500 ft. dive or more. After a dive (successful or not), a creature ends their action 10 feet below the water's surface for every 100 feet of distance fallen (to a maximum of the aforementioned 50 ft. of depth). | To deliberately dive into a suitable surface, such as water, you may roll an [[priority:skills:athletics|Athletics]] check, at a DC of 15, to avoid damage from dives of 50 ft. or less.
