Skill Applications
High Jump
Saga Edition Core Rulebook, page 68.
The DC of a running high jump is equal to the distance cleared (in meters) multiplied by 12. For example, landing atop a 1.5-meter-high (1 square high) ledge requires a successful DC 18 Jump check. If you use a pole of sufficient height to help you vault the distance, the DC is halved. If you do not get at least a 4-square running start, the DC is doubled.
Jump Down
Saga Edition Core Rulebook, page 68.
If you intentionally jump down from a height, you can attempt a DC 15 Jump check to take falling damage as if you had dropped 3 meters (2 squares) fewer than you actually did. For every 10 points by which you beat this DC, you can subtract an additional 3 meters from the fall for determining damage. If you succeed on this check and take no damage, you land on your feet.
Long Jump
Saga Edition Core Rulebook, page 68.
The DC of a running long jump is equal to the distance cleared (in meters) multiplied by 3. For example, clearing a 3-meter-wide (2-square-wide) pit requires a successful DC 9 Jump check. If you do not get at least a 4-square running start, the DC is doubled.
