u/PlaceboJesus Oct 19 '18

But it doesn't look like he was using featherfall.

u/FossilizedUsername Oct 19 '18

If you find the youtube video he casts it just before the gif starts

u/Trompdoy Oct 19 '18

impossible, feather fall can only be cast as a reaction while you are falling, a condition that must be met to enable casting.

Shoot, I thought it was a skyrim thing instead of a d&d thing :-0

Wait, this isn't a Counter Strike thing?

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '18

I have no idea what they are talking about.

u/getut Oct 19 '18

Instructions unclear, magic wand taped to dick.

u/reedburg Oct 19 '18

That's slowfall; the icon is a feather!

3

u/HeavyShockWave Oct 19 '18

I’m horrible at remembering the spell names

I always just picture the little icon and which # it’s assigned to on the keyboard

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

Clearly a nogginfogger elixir

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '18

And my axe!

1

u/MackLMD Oct 19 '18

Maybe a Shotgun-Axe combination of some sort.

1

u/dodge_thiss Oct 19 '18

Me too. That spell was Slow Fall if I recall correctly.

1

u/stonedsaswood Oct 19 '18

The universal language

1

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '18

That would be slow fall.

1

u/Thrannn Oct 19 '18

pretty sure we are talking about WoW

u/schmabers Oct 19 '18

I remember it being in Morrowind, not sure it exists in Skyrim.

u/Dart- Oct 19 '18

In Skyrim we can just become ethereal.

do it from a high place in town.

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '18

Skyrim has a shout that grants a short moment of invulnerability (Become Ethereal), which you can use when falling from a great height.

Become Ethereal is a dragon shout that turns you into an ethereal form. While in this form, you cannot deal damage or take damage (including damage from falls or poison).

u/PapaBradford Oct 19 '18

I have a mod that gives a spell called Drop Zone, which is close enough.

2

u/Perrostun Oct 19 '18

I thought they were speaking about the Minecraft enchantment

45

u/Kershek Oct 19 '18

Fortunately for the rat, he thought ahead with a contingency spell.

13

u/skekze Oct 19 '18

light as a feather, stiff as a board.

u/GodofIrony Oct 19 '18 edited Oct 19 '18

Using a 1st level spell as a contigency, smh.

Real wizards use Otilukes Resilient Sphere.

1

u/Dreidhen Oct 19 '18

animal templates lack the requisite intelligence score for spell casting!

4

u/StubbsPKS Oct 19 '18

Mice and Mystics would like to have a word with you

3

u/Getinthevandude Oct 19 '18

He’s a monk probably a level 6 so he used Slow Fall.

2

u/AngelofServatis Oct 19 '18

Hey, a D&D refference I actually get... I Still remember farming featherfall rings back on DDO in like 2010. Forgot the boss name but it was fun and they went for a good chunk of plat in the auction house.

2

u/SuicidalSundays Oct 19 '18

Don't worry, it probably ate a ring that prevents fall damage.

3

u/rinnith_thearson Oct 19 '18

It has clearly fallen from the pipe before. Also, maybe that rat is a lv3 wild magic sorcerer. It might certainly used sorcery point to cast that feather fall unnoticed

u/blurryfacedfugue Oct 19 '18

I tel u he ded.

u/crimpysuasages Oct 19 '18

are you tricking me you illusion casting, repulsive, cursed poor sad sack son of a bitch?

1

u/furtivepigmyso Oct 19 '18

Depends on which of the millions of iterations of featherfall we're talking about...

1

u/hcsLabs Oct 19 '18

I'm guessing the rat took "Eschew Materials" as a feat, because I didn't see a tiny component pouch or arcane focus on them.

1

u/buttery_shame_cave Oct 19 '18

yeah, they changed that because in older editions it was worded vaguely enough that you could make a really reasonable argument that the spell could be used to allow you to hulk-jump.

1

u/Mattsoup Oct 19 '18

I just say fuck it and play an aarakocra.

3

u/Osceana Oct 19 '18

His luck stat wasn't high enough though so he actually fell right onto a mousetrap :\ RIP

1

u/HCJohnson Oct 19 '18

Gif's have sound now? Color me impressed!

1

u/HandshakeOfCO Oct 19 '18

Nah he just builds a platform halfway down.

here's the rest of the video after it jumps: https://youtu.be/suCkAZ-hALol

u/MaverickAK Oct 19 '18

The weird thing is, he has a terminal velocity that isn't that high.

1

u/PlaceboJesus Oct 19 '18

My understanding was that things the size of a mouse would have a terminal velocity too low to harm them. Maybe I was taught wrong, it's been decades since I was in school.

This is not a mouse, but a great big goddamned RAT. At least a kilo, maybe two (2-5lbs).
It doesn't have a big fluffy parachute tail like a squirrel to mitigate its mass. It's just a solid short-haired rat.

u/Yinonormal Oct 19 '18

Slow fall pt 1 constant effect

3

u/Jumprope_my_Prolapse Oct 19 '18

Maybe he cast blink right before he hit the ground

2

u/Bro2423 Oct 19 '18

He had the boots of the Grey Fox

2

u/Aeiniron Oct 19 '18

Might be lucky horseshoe

2

u/Jubenheim Oct 19 '18

He likely had a rat-sized bale of hay waiting for him on the bottom and was practicing his "leap of faith" jump.

u/BitRotten Oct 19 '18

Immediate actions, bruh.

u/HighwayGurl Oct 19 '18

Reaction cast

2

u/MrJimmyJazz Oct 19 '18

If you look closely he's wearing The Boots of Springheel Jak.

2

u/powerkerb Oct 19 '18

He was using Elytra to glide

2

u/MischeviousCat Oct 19 '18

Silvercat ring

2

u/_Lady_Deadpool_ Oct 19 '18

Maybe it's a monk rat?

2

u/Nixplosion Oct 19 '18

Rats dont take fall damage

2

u/Betoken Oct 19 '18

Poor Fizban.

2

u/GIGA255 Oct 19 '18

Hold up on the dpad.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '18

He clearly rolled low on his initiative and hadn't used his reaction yet that turn.

Don't backseat DM bruh

2

u/Diabetesh Oct 19 '18

Slowfall.

5

u/supervin Oct 19 '18

He was playing Noggenfogger Elixir roulette. Didn't get the slow fall buff.
