Double jump?

[Artoomis]

I kind of like the idea of the barbarian doing double-move jump. It's an illegal action, of course, but it's very much like a barbarian to toss the rules aside and do as he likes.

"Damn the rules and full speed ahead!"

$%#@ physics i am conan!

I believe there's a Rogue exploit that lets you do this legally, video game platformer style. ^.^

Yeah, there are specific powers to circumvent things, but in general one jump = one roll. A 30 foot chasm is rarely within the limit of a heroic-level PC.

Doesn't bother me, but then again I'm a pretty lenient DM. If, as my player, you can make something sound cool enough, and it at least SORT OF makes sense, I'll probably let you go for it, if it doesn't throw the game off(No "Come on, I can cut his head off in one swing!"). A fantastic example was when my Wizard and Fighter got together and decided to use a prepared action to have him Thunderwave the Fighter in the back, "To make him charge harder". I was so impressed(not to mention amused), I let him take only half damage for it, and allowed it. I also saw them negate a trap by throwing a throne at it. Not what I expected, but it made sense to me, and was funny enough I had to allow it.

Great example. I cannot remember btw, in 3E he would have been able to complete the jump in the following round and would essentially be in the air, Giant In the Playground Games does it work this way in 4E or does he have to land within his movement speed.

I'm honestly not sure. I suspect it doesn't - because of the general thrust to keep rules simple where possible - but I personally would allow it.

I suspect I would rule that the PC grants combat advantage while airborne (which might not be much of a problem for them while they're soaring across the chasm...)

misread the rules...

Hmm. To do this properly, you'd need to drop a conjuration that you can stand/jump on to the Barbarian's first landing point. Probably not a spirit companion (though I'd allow it if it was defined as a bear or something rather than an eagle), as it doesn't block allies, but I'm sure one can find an appropriate conjuration somewhere.

No, you had to complete your movement or fall in 3e as well.
