Title: Jump Skill Question
Post by: clansunstar on August 28, 2010, 08:21:54 PM

While I am getting ready to build my mod I thought about how to plot out areas that may be too difficult to jump around on. So I was wondering what would a 10 meter jump require to be made as a jump check? Or is there a dc for distance chart someone can share a link to?

I think i have a answer for my own question. I found a meter to feet converter and used it. If I am right the dc to jump ten meters is 32 almost 33.
Here is the link

I figured if I can use it in making my world more challenging then it may prove a useful tool after all.

PRC implementation:

Code: [Select]

     int iJumpRoll = d20() + GetSkillRank(SKILL_JUMP, oPC) + iBonus + GetAbilityModifier(ABILITY_STRENGTH, oPC);

     // Jump distance is determined by the number exceeding 10
     // divided based on running or standing jump.
     iJumpRoll -= 10;
     if(iJumpRoll < 1) iJumpRoll = 1;
     iJumpRoll /= iDivisor;
     iJumpDistance = iMinJumpDistance + iJumpRoll;


iDivisor = 1 for running jump and 2 for standing jump
iMinJumpDistance = 5 for running jump and 3 for standing jump (in feet)

Hope this will help you
