This tool calculates your character’s jump distance in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition based on their strength score and movement speed.
Jump Calculator 5e
This calculator helps determine the jump distances (in feet) your character can achieve in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Input your strength score and specify whether you’re proficient in Acrobatics, then select the type of jump you want to calculate: a standing long jump, a running long jump, or a high jump.
How to Use:
- Enter your character’s strength score.
- Check the box if your character is proficient in Acrobatics.
- Select the type of jump you want to perform from the dropdown menu.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the result in the ‘Result’ field.
How It Calculates:
The calculator uses standard 5th Edition D&D rules:
- Standing Long Jump: Distance is half your Strength score.
- Running Long Jump: Distance equals your Strength score.
- High Jump: Height is 3 + your Strength modifier (Strength score divided by 2, rounded down).
- If proficient in Acrobatics, an additional foot is added to the calculated jump distance or height.
Limitations:
This calculator assumes there are no other modifiers or conditions affecting your jump (such as spells, class features, or environmental factors). Ensure you consider any such factors separately when determining your character’s actual jump distance or height in-game.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate Long Jump Distance
Enter your Strength Score and the calculator will determine the maximum distance you can jump across a gap. This feature helps you plan your strategy for traversing obstacles and avoiding danger during your adventures.
Calculate High Jump Height
Provide your Strength Score and the calculator will reveal how high you can jump vertically. This information is crucial for reaching elevated areas or escaping pursuit by leaping over obstacles with precision.
