Jumping seems to be part of movement, and you have to move 20’ in a straight line to make a running jump. So would jumps you make in one direction count as that 20’ of straight movement?Also is getting a “running start” taking the “run action”? Meaning do you loose your Dex bonus while jumping or could you just take the movement action amount you need. Are these examples legal?1. move 5’,  jump 10’ [dc20], move 5’, “running start” jump 20’[dc 20]2. move 5’, jump to pole [dc 6], accelerated balance [10” wide surface dc15], jump to pole [dc 10], accelerated balance [10” wide surface dc15],  jump to pole [dc 10], accelerated balance [10” wide surface dc15], “running start” jump 20’[dc 20]3. move 5’, jump to pole [dc 24], accelerated balance [10” wide surface dc15], “running start” jump 22’[dc 22]JUMP (STR; ARMOR CHECK PENALTY)Check: The DC and the distance you can cover vary according to the type of jump you are attempting (see below).Your Jump check is modified by your speed. If your speed is 30 feet then no modifier based on speed applies to the check. If your speed is less than 30 feet, you take a –6 penalty for every 10 feet of speed less than 30 feet. If your speed is greater than 30 feet, you gain a +4 bonus for every 10 feet beyond 30 feet.All Jump DCs given here assume that you get a running start, which requires that you move at least 20 feet in a straight line before attempting the jump. If you do not get a running start, the DC for the jump is doubled.Distance moved by jumping is counted against your normal maximum movement in a round.If you have ranks in Jump and you succeed on a Jump check, you land on your feet (when appropriate). If you attempt a Jump check untrained, you land prone unless you beat the DC by 5 or more.Long Jump: A long jump is a horizontal jump, made across a gap like a chasm or stream. At the midpoint of the jump, you attain a vertical height equal to one-quarter of the horizontal distance. The DC for the jump is equal to the distance jumped (in feet).If your check succeeds, you land on your feet at the far end. If you fail the check by less than 5, you don’t clear the distance, but you can make a DC 15 Reflex save to grab the far edge of the gap. You end your movement grasping the far edge. If that leaves you dangling over a chasm or gap, getting up requires a move action and a DC 15 Climb check.Long Jump Distance    Jump DC15 feet    510 feet    1015 feet    1520 feet    2025 feet    2530 feet    301 Requires a 20-foot running start. Without a running start, double the DC.</blockquote>
