[BNW] Speester Question



I have a situation coming up in my game Sunday night and I need some
opinions, please.

The heroes are having a big throw down with a terrorist group on the roof of
a 28 story building.  Of the 14 characters involved (PC and NPC), there is
only one flyer (villain), one teleporter (hero) and one speedster (hero).  I
know, it's going to get nasty, but:

My question is this:  The building is roughly 60" high.  The Speedster has a
pace of 110".  If he goes over the edge close enough to the wall, could he
do a controlled fall by running down the side of the building?  And, if so,
what does he need to roll when he gets to the street to avoid splatting?

My opinion:  If he is thrown or knocked back, he's SOL.  No foothold, no
chance.  If he goes over at the edge - or voluntarily - he can run down
without a problem until he needs to make the 90 degree turn up at the
bottom.  This will require a Difficult Running roll, with a -1 per 5" of
movement.  His TN will be 15+12(60/5)=27.  A rough roll but do-able with
Delta point(s) and a little luck.  If he misses, well, he did say something
about wanting to try a Sneak . . .

Thoughts, anyone?
