I noticed in the SRD that jump dosnt have any epic usage. Seeing as my level 10 character has a +60 jump mod, i was wondering if any of you monk players out there had found any other good uses for the jump skill aside from the obvious. (Sudden leap, leap attack, tank evasion)

My group uses an oblivion-esque house rule where jump is replaced with acrobatics. jump checks can be made to lessen fall damage. obviously, it can alsosubstitute for a climb check.

Ive heard a feat called "battle jump" mentioned before. Where can i find that at, and what does it basically do?

I think it was in Unapproachable East: if you jump down on an enemy some distance, your attack is treated like a charge. In that book, however, it was only for Taers - it might be expanded in some later source.

That. . . is just so. . . wrong!

I love it. :D

I almost (almost, mind you) want to show this to a player of mine. Show him what heights a character can reach if you work really hard at it.

Peace.

I played with a guy who maxed out his Jumplomacy skill with his Catfolk Barbarian. We didn't even need a Bard anymore.

Since when you long jump, the vertical distance at half of your jump is equal to a quarter of the distance jumped.

Battle Jump make you double your charge damage if you fall on a creature from X feet depending on their size, wich means you have to long jump 4X feets, wich is the DC, but with +60, you can double damage against large and smaller creatures and even huge if you roll a 20, nice:P

It's in Unapprochable East BTW...
