To explain: The value of your Athletics skill check made to jump translates to how many feet you can clear in that jump. One square on most maps translates to 5 feet. So you divide your roll by 5 to figure out how many squares you can clear.

But sometimes, as some irregularly wise men once said, there aren't enough dice in the world.

PM: IIIIIIt…. crashesintotherocksandknocksoverallbutthelasttwoplatforms.
Twilight Sparkle: …It WHAT.
PM: I knoooooow!
Twilight Sparkle: Wait. Assuming one square per platform and one square between… There are now eleven squares between me and the next stable platform. Which means the Athletics DC to jump across is now 55. My Athletics score is 5. That’s literally impossible.
PM: AAAAAAAH I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I’M SORRY
