Eldritch Blast + knockback = no fall damage.

[BoogieMan]

During the quest Hunt the Devil, I ended up using Wyll's Eldritch Blast (with knockback effect) to blast Rurik off the balcony of the large two story building, off the cliff, almost half way to Karlach down by the stream and he took no fall damage.. It was a very long fall. He was so far away that a few moments after he stood up he faded away and was no longer being displayed. So whatever the character draw distance is how far away he ended up.

I also did the same to Cyrel, from just from the roof of the two story building. She has 12 hp, he hit her for 10 and after the fall she still had 2hp left. It looks like it should have been far enough for a bit of damage. She was under the effect of mirror image, but he still luckily landed the 12% hit.

Rurick was prone when he was blasted off the ledge, Cyrel was not.


Here are two images showing the distances:

The top image (with large blood pools visible on the left) is the approximate path Cyrel took off the roof, the other is of course Rurik's impressive fall.

GeForce experience for some reason isn't recording gameplay footage for BG3 for me or I would have posted that.

This issue seems to be caused by a Warlock's Eldritch Blast with the knockback effect. It doesn't appear to trigger falling damage.
