I don't know whether this has been posted elsewhere or not yet, but it seems feather falling actually does provide some resistance to the effects of gravity. I was looking into other web sites with information about mangband, and I came across this site:
http://www.angband.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mang.html
According to this site, feather falling granted this resistance in version 0.7.0 beta. I am not sure if this is true or not, but if Crimson could verify this and, if it is true, explain exactly what this resistance does, it would be appreciated.

Re: Feather Falling
Resist Gravity is an ILLUSION. Avenger's idea was correct: Some of the effects are dampened by FF. There is no way to fully resist gravity in the same fashion that you can resist cold, for example.

Re: Feather Falling
There is actually a reason for this. Not every attack in the game has a counter. There's no sure way to win, etc. Level 50 characters can and do die from a simple pack of hounds.
