Knockback and fall damage (Discussion)

It would be a good idea if there was a new mechanic where you could knock people backwards it would be handy if you were fighting on a cliff or something and knocked them off it and damaged them from the fall.

Why this is a good idea

• It would add a new angle to combat
• It uses the z-axis making combat more interesting
• It'll make the game MUCH more realistic, good realistic. Can create a new fighting style, like the speed kill in Prince of Persia...
• That would be fun knocking someone off of a cliff....300 pit of death style

Why it may not work out

• It may be hard to implement
• No way to res if you get knocked off a 1000 foot cliff.
