[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1218750, member: 1465"] I had once a similar problem, to a lesser extent: an enemy behind some barrels was shooting crossbow bolts and a character wanted to charge and jump over the barrels. With the 3.5 Jump you would need something more than 5ft to jump over the frontliners' heads, which means that by the rules you need to jump a long distance of at least 20ft, and the highest point is midjump so the Wiz must be about 10ft more away. Anyway, beside the fact that it is very difficult (I think it provokes AoO for moving) and probably requires some house rules for non-standard jumps, I also doubt that it would make sense to get the charge bonus by moving in this way, which also is not in a very straight line after all. Perhaps with a special Feat to be taken by the character, you can allow to jump (and maybe do other things) as part of a charge, but by the rules alone I doubt that it works. I think that everything that hinders your movement for the charge makes you lose the momentum. [/QUOTE]
