Saying, "Someone needs to be able to step so many times" or "someone's stride is longer" etc--that's all outside of the rules. The rules aren't based on how long someone's stride is. The rule is straightforward.Again:Your jump check is modified by your speed.The DC is doubled if you don't have a running start (20').This means this:Your jump check (sans speed) is a +12. Your speed is 20', so your jump check is modified to a +6.If you're trying to clear a 10' gap, your jump DC is 10. You need to roll a 4 or better. You're standing on the edge, though, so if you tried to jump across, your DC doubles to a 20. You need a 14 or better.The jump check modification and the doubling DC are independent of each other. How you want to justify it (stride/get up to speed/etc) is immaterial.</blockquote>
