It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Keyleth, a half-elf druid . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously,  Still on the cliff in the Salted Bluffs, Vex'ahlia casts Locate Object to find the diamond that was dropped by Ogden Trickfoot.
DM: Okay. You get a few feet past the cliff edge. Not a majestic jump and the cliff is not completely sheer; it does slightly angle outwards. So you gently leap off, and as you're falling you can see you probably have, I'd say about 300 feet or so before you're going to hit rock.
Player: I'm going to hit rock?
DM: The cliff is not perfectly vertical. It's a little bit angled and you're heading down to hit the rock.
Player: I go, oops! And can I do a Gust against the cliff wall to push me back a little bit further?
DM: Go ahead and make a wisdom check. This is a straight wisdom modifier check.
Player: Oh, that's good! Just straight wisdom modifier? 20.
DM: Okay. Like a gentle fart, you push yourself a little ways from the cliff. I'll say it does just enough of a shove where the trajectory changes slightly. You may or may not be right where the rock hits the surf. You can test it or not. It's up to you.
