Maybe it's swinging from a vine while doing a Tarzan yell, maybe it's throwing down a shield and riding it down a slow ala <s>Legoland </s>Legolas.  But if that chandelier is 30 feet off the ground and you're trying to jump up from the floor and grab it from a standing start, you are clearly violating the letter and the spirit of the rules.I'm all for flair.  It just can't completely bypass the rules of the game to gain a significant benefit.  If someone wants to do a fancy tumble I may have them do an acrobatics check.  If it doesn't exceed movement or gain them some other advantage, they'll still get to where they want to go it just may look awesome or they may look like they accidentally trip.  Maybe if they roll  a 1 they fall prone at the end of their turn but if they roll a 20 they get advantage.That's a separate issue.</blockquote>
