RE: [BNW] Bouncers (and jumping)

	<<It sounds good, but I wonder if the roll should be an acrobatics
roll or a
	str. roll. I don't think an olympic gymnast can jump so high because
he's
	skilled, but because he's strong (leg muscles). The fact that he can
do a
	triple flip and land on his feet is because of acrobatics skill. >>

	I tend to disagree on this. The stronger you are doesn't mean the
farther you can leap.
	It takes skill AND strength to jump long distances. Look at Carl
Lewis. He is a super athlete who is probably in game terms a step above
average strength. He can jump so far due to skill, strength AND speed. 
	I would almost guarantee that a body builder who is as strong as can
be can not out jump an athlete (even a standing jump).

	If in your game Strength means not only ultimate strength but
ultimate fitness then I would agree that strength should be used.

	I guess my point is that Raw strength doesn't mean that you can jump
long distances.

	Just my 2 cents
