Because no one else is doing it, I'm going to take the hit. Feather Fall in D&D 5e prevents falling damage, not fall damage. Sorry to ruin the pun, but someone had to.

You did not successfully ruin the pun, as it has been made clear it does not live or die by the Ing.

However, you did ruin the mood. I banish you to a lower tier.

Hey, at least 16 people enjoyed my contribution, and I think I got some down votes so more than that. I think I did fine. Also, banishment only lasts for 1 minute, so I'm back.

Are you sure you're native to this plane, rather than Mechanus?

Pride’s moans of ecstasy already ruined the mood.

The English language still backs it up. If you fall, you are falling. Simply because there is an ing missing from the text of a thing not said in the joke doesn't mean that the joke doesn't work. On top of that there's the whole part of how the DM is God in a game, not the DMG or the rule book.

You didn't ruin anything. Just weirdly pedantic for no reason

Weirdly pedantic is fun sometimes, and I'd say especially so with D&D 5e rules that often are very poorly worded.

Damage taken from being the Fall season would be called "Fall damage" in English though. It is not a verb that you did, it is a noun that is. You are not falling. It is fall. Falling is only from a present tense verb of fall.

Sorry to be more pedantic.

Since we have all decided to be pedantic, 'falling' is not the past tense of 'fall'.

Its like a participle or gerund or some shit that means it is happening now. edit either I misread or original message was edited. Regardless others have thoroughly beaten me at being pedantic.

It should tell you if it's edited with an asterisk and it should say when the edit happened. I didn't edit the message though. It always said it was present tense.
