[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6186505, member: 61026"] A couple of points: 1. Handaxe and Light hammer are now Simple weapons instead of being Martial. I like that. More characters will now be able to use those alternate ranged weapons. 2. Still no double-Jump? You can long jump your Strength score in feet (so, for example, a PC with STR 12 can jump 12 feet); but hustling or devoting your Action to movement doesn't extend that? If you have STR 12 plus Athletics proficiency, your attempt to jump 15 feet becomes a Strength check: 1d20 + 1 (STR bonus) + 1 (proficiency bonus at 1st level), giving a result range of 3 - 22. If it's Easy (DC 10), you'll fail on a roll of 1 - 7 (35% of the time). If it's Moderate (DC 15), you'll fail on a roll of 1 - 12 (60% of the time). That "Athletics" proficiency sure isn't helping a whole heck of a lot. I don't know whether the designers' intent was for "Hustle" to double other modes of movement besides Walking, but it currently doesn't seem to: currently, "Hustle" is one mode of movement, while "Jump" is another mode of movement. It doesn't say you can do both at once. (Maybe the rules just need to be reworded more clearly?) [/QUOTE]
