[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7484514, member: 28301"] IMO its just absurd that 18' jump has no chance of failure whatsoever and can always be done but 20' is a DC 20 which is %60 chance of failure (8th level to get to 20 Str and then +3 proficiency IIRC.) Every inch is %2.5 chance of failure, that scales way to fast. You shouldn't be able to guarantee an 18' jump either because you are strong with an 18 Str. With encumbrance rules (which almost no one uses) you are better off grabbing another PC and making the jump with them automatically if that's the case. A goliath with 20 strength and his large build trait could probably jump with 3-5 PC's and be guaranteed success using PHB, that just makes no sense. Unless of course I wasn't clear, i.e. there are NO automatic jumps, every jump requires a roll unless it is less than your ATH score+1. I hope that is not the case, I thought I said that. At first level 16 str and athletics proficiency (+5 total) means you guaranteed success is only 6 feet, the minimum score. Boots of striding triple the score as usual, and are much more valuable under my system. [/QUOTE]
