Jump

Jump
Skill Ability
Free Action
Trigger: While moving, you attempt to jump either vertically up into the air or horizontally over a distance.
Effect: Make a jump check (rolling 3d6 instead of 1d20). The result of your jump check is equal to the distance in feet that you travel laterally for a horizontal, or Long Jump. The result of your check divided by 4 is equal to the distance in feet that you travel vertically for a High Jump. If you do not move at least 10ft before making your check, halve the result of your check.
Special: If you Sprint 10ft or more before your check (instead of Skirmish), gain a +5 bonus to your check.
Jump Down
Skill Ability
Free Action
Trigger: While moving, you intentionally attempt to jump down from a ledge or similar height.
Effect: You jump down from a height, using your skill to minimize the any damage you may take from a fall. Make a jump check (rolling 3d6 instead of 1d20). Reduce the amount of Falling damage you would suffer by the result of your check (min. 0).
Special: If you use another ability that reduces fall damage, such as Safe Fall, the effects do not stack, instead take the better of the results.

Jump allows a character to leap horizontally or vertically through the air, over or past hazards and obstacles. When a character attempts to jump horizontally past or over obstacles, he makes a long jump (the height achieved during a long jump is equal to ¼ and is reached at the midpoint of the jump). When a character attempts to jump vertically, to reach a particular height, he makes a high jump. Running before a jump can increase the distance jumped (see Running Jump).

Common Uses of the Jump Skill
  • To jump past or over obstacles.
  • To grab or attack something above your reach.
