Or if a character wants to jump high they might jump on and off another person or do that  running jump onto and off the side of a wall to get higher up. Or using a drainpipe for support to climb up a wall.As part of the rule design many games keep this vague.  But it's not "cool".So, as I said above....I let characters try such things.  And set a percentage.  Often around 30%, but often enough players will roll under 30.  Even at 1%, players do still roll that. Then they can try their Cool Move.</blockquote>
