Re: [HOE] New Martyrs for all you Templars! (Long, Possible Spoilers)

Hey I'm replying to myself, how cool is that!
Anyway
*snip*
gaining the Jumpin' aptitude (if they don't have it) of 4.
*snip*
I accidently forget to write what the Jumpin' aptitude does! Silly me. I
forgot who came up with it but it was in the acculmulated rulings. We use it
in our games but if you don't want to then just ignore it. So here it is.

Jumpin'

Associated Trait: Nimbleness

This handy aptitude allows your hero to leap great distances in a single
bound. Maybe.
The base TN for most jumpin' attempts is a 5. This can be modified by the
Marshal as he
sees fit due to bad footing, differences in height between takeoff and
landing sites, etc.
The distance a hero can jump is based on his Strength die. Each raise on the
jumping roll
adds distance based on the type of jump being attempted.
Distance per Raise
Vertical Jump: Base Jump: 3 feet, + 0.5 feet per raise
Standing Long Jump: Base Jump: 2 feet, +1 foot per raise
Running Long Jump: Base Jump: 6 feet, +2 feet per raise

Sorry about that folks. I return you to your regularly scheduled programs.

Alex
