(technically, if you're crawling you don't get to add the extra square if your move is odd, but I'd allow you to add move rate together then divide by two.)You want a mind bender, take a look at double move with the rogue at will Great Leap.  I'd say a double move with great leap is only one athletics check, and is a pointless option because great leap already doesn't concern itself with your actual move rate.  But one could make an argument (which is usually a bad idea in dnd) that it lets you have two athletics checks, both as if you were running, you're in the air until the end of the second move, and it ignores your speed.  But this is crazy.  No one has ever jumped much more than 30 feet (official record is 29 ft 4½ in), which is 6 squares.  The idea that a rogue can jump more than 60 feet is crazy hehe.  That'd be two dc 30 jumps in a row if you allow Great Leap to work like that, which is certainly possible.By the basic rules, a human jumper with no magic items to increase his speed has a theoretical maximum jump at 80 feet, which is dc 80 athletics check.This discussion has, however, opened my eyes to just how well DnD character can exceed real world records in jumping.  35 feet is only a dc 35 check, and getting +15 is doable for a human at level 2.</blockquote>
