[6e] Jumping
Typhus:
I'm not asking for everything, I'm asking for anything. There's not even a rule that says "Jumps are a matter of making a (X+X) test to clear the gap. Refer to the Threshold Chart to set the Threshold for jumping". I don't think that's an unreasonable ask.

I suspect I'm not following your criticism, since it does literally say:
"When making jumping tests (Athletics + Strength)..." Rather than saying "this is the threshold for a broad jump of x meters, this is the threshold for a high jump of x meters, and etc" it just says "establish an appropriate threshold to roll against, using the guidance provided." Does that not give you what you're asking? (even if it's not located under the athletics skill, like we both prefer it could have been)
Typhus:
On mine it says:
"When making jumping tests (Athletics + Strength) subtract the hydraulic jacks rating from the threshold
(see Threshold Guidelines p. 36), with a minimum modified threshold of 1."
End of statement.
Questions become things like: Well, what's the farthest I could jump? Where should the GM say yes/no/roll for it? I'm fine with the idea, I'm just saying it could be more specific. Considering what climbing and swimming have written, it's barely anything to go on.

If the GM says that under the circumstances, a 100 meter jump is physically possible, then that's possible under those circumstances. GM will tell you what the threshold is. And if you have that cyberware, you reduce that threshold by the given amount.
If you ask "what's the threshold to jump from here to the moon" the GM will probably say "that's not possible". But if they instead say "10 billion", then your threshold is (10 billion - hydraulic jacks rating)

Which people would only know for sure is true if they came to this forum and read what you just typed.
