Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 2978568" data-attributes="member: 2011">Running is a full round action.Charging is a full round action.Withdrawing is a full round action.Does it make sense to not be able to run and jump in mid-run?What does the phrase "running start" mean in the Jump skill? What does the phrase "maximum movement" mean in the Jump skill?The issue here is the phrase:Can a Jump check be part of a move action? Yes.Can it be part of some other type of action? Probably yes. This phrase states that it is part of a move action, but does not limit it to only move actions. Otherwise, it cannot be done while running.So, can a Jump be made while running, charging, or withdrawing? Yes, no, and yes. It is not the Jump skill that prohibits it for charging, it is the charging action:Withdraw does not have this type of limitation. You can move wherever and however you want up to a double move. You cannot Tumble while Withdrawing because Withdraw is not normal movement, it is a specialized form of movement which prevents an AoO:The Jump skill does not restrict the movement, nor does it limit you to only doing it for a Move Action. One can interpret the "it is part of a move action" to limiting it only to a move action, but that phrase does not really do that. In fact, if you literally read that phrase to mean that, you could not Jump in the middle of a Double Move (two move actions, not one) either (which is just as silly as not allowing it for a Run action).My vote: You can Jump as part of Running and as part of Withdrawing, but not as part of Charging.</blockquote>
