For a jump? as in, all four appendages leaving the ground at once? DC 200 and if it fails it shatters it's legs. There's a reason elephants don't jump. Really?



Seems to be at least partially bipedal. In every version it's been pictured anyway... Even has the opposable "thumb" in there...
Do you play D&D?

Gygaxian is NOT a slur. Those who use it as such should be punched in the face. Repeatedly.

Don't be too hard on ravenshrike though. New players need to learn somewhere.

Nor can they move 150'/round. According to thispage, elephants can charge at 25 miles per hour, which is about 220 feet over six seconds.

But 110'/round is fairly close. 
Cool. So if an elephant was 50' tall they could clear 30' easily. Yes, if ported into DnD, they could, especially if they got a running start, though elephants would probably have some sort of jump penalty, because ... yeah. Elephants don't really jump.
I think I've lost this sub-thread though. So what does it mean that they could?

The jumping had to do with the ease and non-skill needed for s/g like jumping the length of ones stride. 3'-4' for a human, ~30' for s/g 50' tall. Used solely as a size comparison.

Yeah, you're a shoe in for a Paladin 'promotion'.
