Provokes an AoO.  The fighter is attempting to enter the creatures square.2. DC 40 jump check sounds right, the AoO unless it hinders the fighter does not negate the move3. Failed3a. Stops in square just outside the monster's square (otherwise it's an illegal space, he essentially gets pushed back)3b. Tumble check DC 15 + 40 - Jump Check rolled to not be prone4. Succeeded4a. Balance check each round to stay on, DC variable depending on actions, but I would initially give a bonus equal to Jump Check - 40.  The DC might be something like 10 + Dex/Deflection/etc. bonuses of the monster.4b. I would give the fighter a +1 on attacks for higher ground4c. I would consider the fighter grappled (he's trying to stay on), but not the monster (though the monster has no benefits to hit him and would take grapple checks/penalties to attack). How's that sound?  It's a fun maneuver to watch, but ultimately foolhardy in D&D.  The cinematic benefit of doing it is for what basically amounts to a called shot to the back of the neck or something, which is not possible anyway, so it really has little benefit.  It also has problems in that there is no facing.</blockquote>
