Charging and Jumping

[Scion]

First question, is it possible to charge and jump with the same action? Possibly across a chasm to attack the enemy on the other side

Secondly, my current character is a druid, if I change into a cheetah and use the sprint ability can I jump with that?

This is all very important I would like opinions and real rules if at all possible.. I have to convince my dm that it is possible to sprint and jump so that I can still make it across those large chasms or attack flying mages ;/

Thanks!

Yes in both cases. Jumping isn't a separate action; it's done as part of any movement you make in the round.

I agree, but are there any rules to back this up?

No...and the Sage is fired and the FAQ isn't errata...so give up and accept the fact that your question will never truly be clarified.

Are there any rules to back it up if I say you can't?

Don't worry what the rules don't say, only want they do say.

All that said, there may be a rule saying that this is not allowed that I'm not aware of, but that doesn't nullify that rule of thumb

I thought I heard that Skip was still going to be the Sage in Dragon Magazine though? There was even a new email address to send questions to him on the front page a little while ago.

You missed two things...

1) the sarcasm...

2) the joke...

But that's ok.

No, I got the scarcasm but I thought it was just in regards to the poster not making his own decisions

I didn't, however, know whether or not you knew that Skip was still the Sage.

Nah. It was just a snarky little comment regarding "officialists" that have been swarming about the boards as of late.

Yup. It's really cool that Dragon kept him on.

I would allow the sprint to effect the jump but I'd still keep the cheetahs max distance jumped at 6 times body length. So no I wouldn't let a sprinting cheetah leap a football field or anything else kind of silly. If you want to fly change into a bird.
