The DM ruled that I had to make a DC 25 Jump check for the horse, because the distance from the far square the horse occupies to the other side of the chasm was 25 ft. This is silly, right? The DC should not be higher simply because the creature is larger, right? Consider the following diagrams.Person = PHorse = HEnemy = ENormal terrain = #Difficult terrain = XRunning Person######XXXX###P#####XXXX##E######XXXX###Here the man obviously runs 25 ft, then jumps a 20 ft gap, then moves the rest of the way and attacks with a charge. Total movement is 11 squares.Running Horse######XXXX###HH####XXXX###HH####XXXX##E######XXXX###Here, the horse runs 20 ft to the edge, then jumps a 20 ft gap, then moves the rest of the way and its rider attacks after 10 squares of movement. However, if, as my DM did, you measure the jump distance from the horse's hind end just before it jumped, it's actually a 25-ft jump.######XXXX#######[hq]HHXXXX[/hq]#######[hq]HHXXXX[/hq]##E######XXXX###</blockquote>
