I might keep str+dex bonus for standing jumps just because it's simpler to remember one rule and because I reckon dex is about applying your str resources well - bodily discipline and all that.<br /><br />I would, by direct fiat, demand a dex save for jumps that exactly make it or fail by 1-4: if you make your jump exactly but fail your save you're flailing unbalanced on the brink for 1 round unable to act - and have to make another save or be rescued by a friend. If you miss by 1-4 then you have to make a dex save to grab the ledge, with the amount you missed by as a penalty.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517340075234811323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887410874340004979.post-5287301259457204202011-04-14T08:17:39.771+01:002011-04-14T08:17:39.771+01:00I made a slight maths error David - changed in the...I made a slight maths error David - changed in the post.

On average, it looks like a standing broad jump for a 1st level character is in the 4-5 foot range, and 7-9 feet with the running start. A more heroic character (high STR, DEX and level) would be able to make more Olympian leaps.<br /><br />Looks good.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346892249648511888noreply@blogger.com
