Just to clarify,
If I'm using a magical leaping skill as opposed to my mundane jumping skill, then it doesn't matter if the tree is 20' tall or 100' tall, I still use a resistance of 14, but if I'm using a mundane skill then the resistance is based on the height of the tree?
As well, if I'm an animist who has integrated a Kangaroo spirit to give me a Jumping ability, does this count as a magical ability or a mundane ability?
