| Modifiers = * The difficulty of reaching a given height varies according to the size of the character or creature. The maximum vertical reach (height the creature can reach without rolling to make a Jump check) for an average creature of a given size is shown on the table below. (As a Medium/Small creature, a typical player character can reach 10 feet without rolling. Does a halfling need to work to reach a ten foot window? yes, but it's not so difficult that it requires an actual skill roll, they are just assumed to be used to dealing with a world too big for them.) Quadrupedal creatures don't have the same vertical reach as a bipedal creature; treat them as being one size category smaller for purposes of vertical reach. | | Modifiers = * The difficulty of reaching a given height varies according to the size of the character or creature.
