Jump (STR)

With the jump skill, a hero can attempt to leap over obstacles by performing a horizontal running or standing jump, or a vertical leap.

On any jumping attempt, a Critical Failure result indicates that the hero trips and takes a hard fall, suffering d6 points of stun damage. A Marginal indicates that the hero makes a leap of Ordinary distance but suffers d4 points of stun damage because of a poor landing.
