Agree 100%. Fall damage from low heights is too severe. They can INCREASE fall damage from higher heights, too. I haven't tested this myself, but someone mentioned in another thread that you will lose a MAX of 100 HP from ANY fall. That means you can jump off ANYTHING and survive as along as your health is above 100...

But don't fall off that 8 foot ledge at 25 HP... you die!

Both extremes are frustrating and should be addressed.
