You end your movement grasping the far edge. If that leaves you dangling over a chasm or gap, getting up requires an entire move action and an Easy [[Movement]] check to climb up for your character level. | ||

| Benefit = A high jump is a vertical leap made to reach a ledge high above or to grasp something overhead. You must declare the intended height of your jump and calculate the distance required prior to making the check. Note that 'high above' may vary wildly for creatures of different sizes. A size Tiny creature may need a three foot vertical jump simply to reach a bar stool, while a size Colossal creature may comfortably reach the fourth story of an inn without even standing on tiptoe (see chart below). In no cases does your size modify how well you can jump. | | Benefit = A high jump is a vertical leap made to reach a ledge high above or to grasp something overhead.

If you wish to pull yourself up, you can do so with an additional move action and an Easy DC [[Movement]] or [[Might]] check for your level. | ||
| Action = High jumps are part of a move action, and require as much movement as the distance of the jump. No jump can allow you to exceed your maximum movement for the round (but see Astounding Leap, below). | | Action = High jumps are part of a move action, and require as much movement as the distance of the jump.

| Modifiers = The DC for this check increases by 10 for every 80 lbs you weigh (including items and equipment you carry). In addition, there may be circumstances for the environment, and moving at full speed penalties apply as well. Tightrope walking across a slickly-greased and frayed cotton thread in savage unpredictable gusts at a steep downhill angle in a massive pounding hailstorm is going to be quite difficult. The GM should apply all modifiers that seem appropriate, using the modifiers on this page as guidelines. | | Modifiers = The DC for this check increases by 10 for every 80 lbs you weigh (including items and equipment you carry).
