[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 891305, member: 1656"] Now here's something that hasn't been addressed. The ruling on the Jump skill is that if you make a jump check that indicates a distance greater than your speed, you complete the jump on your next action, right? In other words, if someone with a speed of 30' casts a Jump spell, moves 20' and jumps, with a jump check that indicates 20' of travel, they can only actually cover 10' of that Jump in their action. Next round, they must take a move action to cover the last 10' of the jump. Now, if that were a running High Jump, they could conceivably spend most of an initiative cycle hanging a few feet short of reaching the balcony they're leaping for, until their next action when the jump resumes, and they catch the edge of the balcony and haul themselves up. Doesn't that, by extension, mean that if an armoured dwarf takes a standard action, and then jumps [i]down[/i] from a tower, he can't fall further than 15' in the first round? :) -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
