Unless you can jump at least 10' high.

01-30-08, 02:30 AM It works amazingly well with Warblade. It's a regional first available only at 1st level. Obviously if you're not playing in Faerun, it's going to require Dm approval. Regional feats are more powerful than many other feats, because of the restrictions.

Anyhoot. Battle Jump automatically initiates a charge if you drop more than 5' to land on a foe. If you hit with your charge attack, you deal double damage. Yes, this stacks with Leap Attack, Power Attack, Shock Trooper, Headlong Rush ( I think, can't remember the specifics for that one) and many other ways of multiplying charge damage (valorous weapon, rhino's rush, etc).

The other option with Battle Jump is to give up the charge and instead make a trip, grapple or bull rush attempt instead. (Might be wrong about the bull rush) If you do so, you act as if you are one size larger for purposes of the opposed rolls involved.

So, the reason it works great with Warblade? Leap of the Dragon stance ( Leaping Dragon? Something like that. Been too long since I played my warblade.) 10 foot enhancement bonus to jumps. Go ahead, jump on top of that large creature. It only takes a check of 20 if you have Leap of the Dragon. Not that hard to get.

Unapproachable East has some great material, I'd recommend that book. Lotsa fun stuff.

01-30-08, 11:24 AM 40 is not that hard, it take some work but it can be done. leaping Dragon stance + 10 enhancement and counts as running, boost your ground speed for each + 10 over 30 its +4 (expeditious retreat +12), jump rings add competence bonus +5 or +10 with skill levels and stat. jumping dc of 40 or 50 are fairly easy. jump is one of the easist skills to boost.
