[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9245846, member: 23751"] I'm not sure how other examples will help. But I'll walk it through a little clearer. A 7th cleric with a 14 strength and proficiency in athletics can automatically clear 14 feet with a jump. However, he has come to a 20 foot pit in the hallway. He decides he wants to jump it, so he backs up and gets a running start. The base is 14 feet. He has +2 in athletics for strength and +3 for proficiency, giving him +5 to his roll. He rolls(clack clack clack) an 18+5=23. 23/3=7 since we are rounding down and the extra 2 to the roll go away. He gets 14+7=21 feet of distance and makes the jump. If he had picked the feat that allows him expertise, he'd have had 3 more to the roll and gone 22 feet. For high jumps I use a set DC since height is so hard to achieve. 15 DC gets you 1 extra foot and 25 gets you 2. The book heights are already kinda close to world record numbers, and jumping up is much harder. Now I like things to be a bit more realistic than some folks, so if you want the PCs to jump farther and higher, you can divide the roll by 2 or even just let it be 1 for 1 when it comes to distance. And you can make it 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 for 1 foot each for height. All up to you. [/QUOTE]
