[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1862049, member: 1465"] I'm not in favor of allowing a jump as part of a charge movement. However, the SRD doesn't seem very clear about it: To me it sounds like you cannot jump over an obstacle such as a table or a short barrier during a charge. One could argue that jumping allows you not to have your movement blocked or slowed. Also, if instead of an obstacle (high jump) you are jumping over a hole in the ground (long jump), it may seem even more feasible. What allows you to jump as part of a charge is the "action" entry in the skill description. As a rule of thumb I think it makes more sense to not allow a high jump as part of a charge, and at least to increase the DC of a long jump (or require a separate check) to represent the fact that when you land you have lose the momentum of the charge. And maybe require a minimum of another 10ft between landing and attacking... Instead, the action of attacking at the same time you land seems to me a sort of action difficult (or cinematic) enough to require a feat. There was in fact a Mantis Leap feats for monks in S&F about it. [/QUOTE]
