I’m down to run with the third option, especially if it makes things easier for you.

Same. Anything to make GM life easier so they can spend more time in the game with us dingbats and less time mathing.

#2 is how I've always viewed it, it makes the most sense narratively IMO. That said, if you want to run #3, then run #3.

Despite the literal reading of the rules, I have always been happy to say that a 4-hour elvish trance can count as a long rest. In fact, I suspect we've already played it that way in this game. I see no reason to change that. That being the case, whatever we decide upon for long rests in general would apply to elvish trances used as long rests...that is to say, while an elf can go into a trance at any time, only one trance can count as a long rest in the given period.

I'm not sure what you mean by "watches," though...is there a rule or ruling needed about watches?

I'm good with whichever option makes it easier for you the DM.

OK, I've updated the list of conventions (at the start of this thread) with the two clarifications: elven trances and long rests.

I did look into the jumping rules, found this calculator
The calculator is pretty handy. Faith's base jump height would be 4 feet (because of her STR mod). How high she could reach depends on how tall she is.
This raises an interesting question:

How tall are each of your characters?

Adran is 6 ft. 1 in. tall.

Perspective
Irl I'm 6'4" (193cm) so I've always wanted to be shorter. So I could buy clothes anywhere. Plus, hopefully, I'd have smaller feet so I could get shoes too.

But you know what they say about a guy with big hands and feet.

I mean ... I'm 5'4" ... lol. So my statement stands.

That said, my ex was 6'1" and the runt of his family. His cousin was 6'7" and hugging him was the weirdest thing ever. Let me just headbutt your sternum, that's okay right? Hahaha
