There are two characters: Flyer (SPD 4, DEX 20) and Faller (SPD 4, DEX 18).
In a previous phase Flyer picked up Faller and at the beginning of Phase 6, Flyer is holding Faller 7" in the air. Faller is HtH and needs to get on the ground quick to do some damage. He asks to be let go.
On DEX 20, Flyer releases Faller. Faller fails a BreakFall roll, ending up on his butt. On DEX 18, he would like to use the other purpose of BreakFall, getting to his feet without spending a 1/2 Phase. Can he make another BreakFall attempt to stand up?
I made a snap ruling and said yes. If he fails, he stands, but uses a 1/2 Phase. If he made the roll (which he did) he still had a full action.
A slight tangent: If a character is hit with a 2" KB and succeeds in BreakFall (ending up on his feet) and within the same turn is hit again for 4" KB and again makes the BreakFall roll, and things proceed like this; is it possible to end up with a [theoretically] infinite number of BreakFall rolls being made by the character within a single phase?
