How To Calculate Jump Distance 5E

Calculate basic D&D 5e jump distances from Strength modifier and running start.

How the how to calculate jump distance 5e works

For a long jump, distance in feet can equal Strength score with a 10-foot running start, or half that without one. High jump is 3 + Strength modifier with a running start (half that without one), subject to rules and movement limits.
