I humbly request that the JUMP <self> verb be rewritten in the following way:
Syntax: JUMP <self> <option> - Uncommon as it is to be in a situation where a backflip is really appropriate, a 'half-hearted handstand" is pretty much never appropriate in the same situation. Allow us to choose which to do!
Roundtime: 5 sec - Most (if not all?) other strictly roleplaying verbs have no associated RT, so having a 5 second roundtime attached to this is a little odd. Even PUNCHing someone follows the usual double standard, with the roleplaying version losing the RT from the regular version. This should be no different!
"Actually, retreating would work better." - Other, less combat-worthy verbs such as kiss, hug, and dance are allowed in combat, so this restriction is a little confusing. While it would be cooler to make backflipping out of combat an alternative to retreating, it would be nice to at least not restrict this fluff verb while in combat.
So, those are my ideas. I hope someone likes them!
