Summary0004872: When falling off a ledge, have jump trigger 'ride the lightning' instead of regular jump
DescriptionI'm able to trigger a regular jump after falling off an edge -- doesn't feel right. To me Jump=something nonmagical, newtonian physics
Ride The Lightning = magic, can jump even though there isn't something to jump off of.

Suggest that if the character is not on something "solid", trigger ride the lightning (With existing rules -- no double rides, etc.) instead of regular jump.

In case I'm not clear enough :-)

Repro:
Run off of ledge
While in air, jump

Expected:
Ride the lightning

Actual:
Regular jump happens (with ability to ride the lightning for 2nd jump)
TagsNo tags attached.

Sounds more like a bug than a design decision.

Being able to normal jump after falling off a ledge is intentional.

Working as intended. Has been discussed elsewhere, mainly in the "thanks so much for that!" type of commentary about it.
