[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8478545, member: 6915329"] Didn't read enough, because The Dungeon Master is a subheader under Introduction. The actual Introduction is quite a bit longer than three paragraphs. Note that while it says that how to determine the outcome of the action is up to you, it [I]doesn't [/I]say "don't let them do it unless you want them to." The rules for Jumping tell you how far you can long or high jump. As you say, there's nothing that says what to do if you want to jump beyond that limit. However, since [I]jump [/I]allows you to triple your distance, it's clear that any unusually long jump of that length would require magic. Additionally, each foot of movement you jump costs one foot of movement, so you would need to have a walking speed of whatever 238,900 miles converted to feet per round is in order to jump to the moon. And if you [I]don't [/I]have that speed, then you would fall at the end of your turn. So, first step is getting a walking speed of 238,900 miles is, then having [I]jump [/I]cast on you.
