Saving throws
I ran a short 4th ed encounter last night, just because I need more experience with it. While it didn't come up in the actual fight, I found myself looking up "catching yourself if forced movement throws you off a cliff", something near and dear to the heart of shipboard fights.
It's a saving throw. Ew. No matter your mass, your dex, your skill - it's 45% that you go off the edge, period. No way to get better. No way to affect it, save for a couple of weird powers.
Any ideas for a way to work consistently with the game metarules to make it a better effect? Maybe make a second attack against the target's Reflex defense? Where a railing gives a +4 to Reflex, or something? What do all of you think?
