Leaping Distance

Does anyone remember how to calculate leaping distances? I thought it was in the TMNT book, but I can't find it. I also remember that it was greater for those with Acrobatics/Gymnastics than for those without the skills.

Any help, either a page number or how to calculate it, would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The TMNT base was 4*4 or 4*5 feet, plus 2*1 feet per level.

I prefer to "throw" the person as if they were an object, and their Speed is their effective PS, using the table note from under the throwing table in the RMB.

in the GM's guide there's something about supernatural strength leaping distances if you need that as well.

I've got a problem with leaping distances myself, using extraordinary leaping (minor power) I've got a char that can leap about 1000 feet, which is fine, but last I heard, any leap is simply timed as one melee action, that means I can leap over a mile in one round? Hang time for that simply isn't factored in.

Last time I looked (the HUGMG), a leap cost four attacks (down from costing all attacks).

I thought that leaps and leap attacks cost all of the attacks for that melee round.
