And Eyebeams handled it upthread - in a game in which a player has 3 jump cards, his/her PC can't overcome challenges in the game by jumping more than 3 times a session. Why would you have such a mechanic in your game? Perhaps to force some diversity (this is part of the rationale of 4e's encounter powers). Assuming the game is one with a lot of chasms, then some time the player with the 3 jump cards is going to have to have his/her PC use a rope, or fly, or something else.And if you can't come up with ingame reasons why jumping won't work - the chasm's too wide, the wind too strong, the ground too slippery, the PC's legs too tired, etc, etc - then you probably shouldn't be playing that game.</blockquote>
