This mod attempts to align the jump action closer to D&D 5e rules for both the player and NPCs.
Costs:
• Jump distances cost a varied amount of movement based on the distance traveled.
• The bonus action cost has also been removed. No more free movement!
• Some spells have been balanced by adding an action (eg Laezel's psionic jump) or movement (eg Diving Strike).
Distances:
• Uses the "running" jump distance rule, rather than the "standing" jump rule.
• Base jump distance has been changed from 4.5m (~15ft) to 3m (~10ft).
• Distance is added by multiplying your Strength modifier by 0.61m (2ft). If negative, the game reads as 0.
• Minimum jump distance reduced from 2m to 1m.
• Since jumps are parabolic, actual distances will vary based on terrain.
Notes:
• Unfortunately, I cannot subtract range with a negative modifier due to Larian's scripting.
• Characters with a modifier of 0 or less will all have the same range: 3m.
• Some spells remain unchanged due to NPCs not using the spell or to prevent blockers/weird outcomes of scripted events.
• The jump cast circle is set to your max jump range, even if you can't jump the full distance due to insufficient movement speed.
Compatibility:
• Should be safe to add or remove at any time, but may cause minor conflicts with mods that also edit various jump entries.
• Should play nicely with most everything. Either load early in your list to use as a baseline, or late in your list as the rule.
Reporting:
If you encounter any bugs, especially anything game breaking (eg NPCs with no viable pathing), please post in the comments!
Also please feel free to add suggestions as well.
Known Issues:
• Jumping down a cliff in turn based mode can consume all movement, preventing casting jump. Working on a fix for this; Until then, use real time mode for long jumps such as this.
• If under the effect of enhanced leap and you mouse over or use another version (like Laezel's), the tooltip will read out a 9x range and you'll be able to jump a 9x range provided you have the movement speed. I am working on a fix for this that is unobtrusive.
• Some NPCs were not coded to have access to any variation of jump, fly or levitate, and thus cannot jump.
• Some of my edits were for jump spells that may or may not be used at all in game. But because I changed the top-most entry for jump, I decided to make more edits downstream, either keeping vanilla values or modifying them, in order to prevent bugs and blockers.
• There is approximately 0.2m of slop in the distance calculations done by the game's engine.
