How the jump check for this maneuver work, exactly? Do you have to make a full long jump, flying over the target in the middle of this leap? Or do you only use the DC for a such a jump, but end up right next to the victim?

No ideas?

I used to think it was the latter, but now I'm not sure.

i think the former. jump over them, hit in the middle of the jump. i could be wrong, though.

You're probably right. That's the normal way long jumps work in D&D.

If so, that's pretty cool. Almost like Spring Attack. The warblade is likely to end up at least 10 ft. away from the target.

Does this movement count against your normal limit?

i would think so. jumping normally does.

So what happens if you move before initiating this maneuver?

the movement of the jump is kinda handled like spring attack, as far as i can tell. you basically get to move twice your speed and attack in the same round. except half that movement is your jump.
