Message: <blockquote data-quote="A2Z" data-source="post: 258828" data-attributes="member: 244">I need a bit of help with the jump skill. I'll start with an example using my character. My character is 3rd level with 0 ranks in jump and no str, bonus. He does have 5 ranks in tumble (which gives him a +2 synergy bonus) and a ring of jumping (which gives +30 to the check right?). All this would give him a +32 check. My DM though, doesn't think the ring adds to the roll. He wants to rule that the ring gives me an atomatic check of 30. It seems to me that would really decrease the use of the ring.Now, if I wanted to make a standing high jump I would determine my roll. Say I got a 20 for arguments sake. That would give me a skill check of 52. That means I can jump a total height of 7'-4" right?If I made a running jump my maximum distance would be 47'-0", but I can only use 30' of that because of my movement right?Now here's my questions:1) Is all that I wrote above correct?2) Does a ring of jumping add +30 to your skill check?3) How do you determine height on a running or standing jump?4) What's the point of having a high jump check if you can still only jump your maximum movement?5) On the jumping table in the PHB do the entries for running high jump and standing high jump relate to height jumped or distance jumped? And if they are for distance how do you figure out how height you jump if you wanted to jump up to a ledge or something?</blockquote>
