Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paraxis" data-source="post: 6540815" data-attributes="member: 13009">JUMPING Your Strength determines how far you can jump.Long Jump. When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement.This rule assumes that the height of your jump doesn’t matter, such as a jump across a stream or chasm. At your DM’s option, you must succeed on a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check to clear a low obstacle (no taller than a quarter of the jump’s distance), such as a hedge or low wall. Otherwise, you hit it.When you land in difficult terrain, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to land on your feet. Otherwise, you land prone.High Jump. When you make a high jump, you leap into the air a number of feet equal to 3 + your Strength modifier if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing high jump, you can jump only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement. In some circumstances, your DM might allow you to make a Strength (Athletics) check to jump higher than you normally can.You can extend your arms half your height above yourself during the jump. Thus, you can reach above you a distance equal to the height of the jump plus 1. times your height.----------------Athletics. Your Strength (Athletics) check covers difficult situations you encounter while climbing, jumping, or swimming. Examples include the following activities:-You try to jump an unusually long distance or pull off a stunt midjump.----------------The above are the specific rules for jumping, anything else is up to the DM.The way I handle a strength 15 character making a long jump of of 16' or 20', is by making them make a Strength(athletics) check as it states.  DC varies by situation but a 15 will get you a few extra feet at my table.  I also allow the extension of arms like with a high jump on a long jump so the 16' gap would be withing reach just clinging to the side.I take extra movement, height, size and stuff into adjudicating the above DC for extra distance covered.Landing in difficult terrain as above is a DC 10 Dexterity(acrobatics) check to land not prone.But if the character has the strength and the 10 feet of room for a jump a strength 15 halfling makes a 15' jump without a check, because that is what the rules say happens.  Pretty much 10' wide pits in the hall don't matter much unless someone dumped strength to less than 10.</blockquote>
