[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7925852, member: 6804070"] I find it amusing that anyone is worried about changing the rules to make the character's actions more heroic and to put less restrictions on a player. Because it seems quite clear that if RAW the longest jumper in a party can clear 18 feet and the worst 10ft then the DM who is going to want to make it possible for some of the party is going to make the chasm between 10 and 18 feet. And if they can't cross the obstacle by jumping they are going to make it 19+ feet wide. But if you houserule some system based on whatever you want so the range the party can jump is between 15 feet and 30 feet. then the obstacle is going to be either between 15-30 feet or greater than 30 ft. Depending upon what the DM wants. Whether the chasm can be heroically crossed is dependent upon the DMs choice, not the rules. Don't change the rules, change how you describe them and the expectations you set forth. [/QUOTE]
