I don't think you meant for a master to do one big, ol' crazy jump after staring at the edge of a rooftop for 2 minutes... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.I think you may be looking for "May make Jump and tumble checks as if he had rolled a natural 20 without rolling. This takes the normal aount of time for this check." or possibly, streching the term rather severely, "You may take 20 on Jump and Tumble checks, without having to take 20 times the normal time required for this check." Another, possibly less worriesome version would be "You may take 10 on Jump and Tumbles checks, even if stress wounld normally prevent you from doing so. Further, while taking 10 on Jump and Tumble checks, you gain a +10 bonus to the result of such checks." This last one is probably the closest to your intent...Another think I was noticing, was in the listing of mastery abilites by Martial Arts style, you can cut down on wasted space by listing things like "Acrobatics 1, Acrobatics 2, Acrobatics 3" as just "Acrobatics (1-3)" or something similar.Actually, the extreme jump between the '2s' and the '3s' in mastery abilites was a bit jarring. I follow you only ever get a single 3, and could (by my estimate) get as many as four 2s, but still...BNF is some great stuff. I'm still reading through it and finding neat new ideas. It can still be a little tighter before it goes to hard copy however 8).</blockquote>
