[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9565208, member: 6801845"] Simulacrum army has always been the Pun-Pun of 5e trotted out as an example of how broken the rules are but never actually seen in any game. Fortunately the 2024 rules also explicitly state that a simulacrum cannot cast simulacrum so hopefully we can stop seeing that simulacrum strawman someday. As far as any DM I've ever had, it was like the peasant railgun which they've now pointed out has never been the intent of the rules. Those college athletes are jumping under ideal conditions on a track into sand and carrying no gear. Load those college kids up like the typical fighter with a hundred pounds of gear or more and then jump under just about any environmental conditions onto a hard surface. Then have them do it repeatedly it all day long because the jump distance is just talking about what you can do without a chance of failure as part of your movement. The GM can always call for an athletics check to exceed the guaranteed distance. I'd probably give them advantage and a lower target DC if they were on a packed track wearing the typical t-shirt, shorts and modern running shoes. As far as superhero levels go, depends on the superhero. Superman levels where you can (apparently) fly far faster than the speed of light to get to other solar systems and drag planets around on a chain? Or Luke Cage level of superhero? There's a pretty broad spectrum of what superhero means. [/QUOTE]
