[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1893416, member: 1656"] From the 3E Main FAQ: [b]The description of the Jump skill says that any distance you jump counts against your movement for the turn. What happens if my character jumps farther than her speed allows or faster than the character can move in a turn? Suppose I have a speed of 40 and I activate a magic item (a standard action), then make the required 20-foot run for a running broad jump. I can move only another 20 feet this turn. What if my Jump check indicates a jump of 25 feet or more?[/b] [i]When you jump farther than you’re allowed to move, you can just jump a shorter distance, or you can just finish your turn in midair and finish your jump on the next turn.
