My new DF campaign has a race of mountain elves who possess racial Catfall and Perfect Balance. As such, they like to build their cities into the sides of cliffs and link them with narrow tightropes. This had led to the following question: should such a character automatically succeed on an attempt to drop down from one tightrope to land on another another that crosses 20 feet below? Catfall allows them to treat a fall of that height as no fall at all, and Perfect Balance allows them to treat a well-anchored tightrope as plain level ground. Do the traits thus interact as I have described?
