Jump Action (5e Variant Rule)
From D&D Wiki
Jump Action[edit]
In core 5e, jumping is just a thing that happens; it eats into your movement speed but otherwise requires no further consideration beyond distance, which is fine but boring. This rule intends to make jumping a tactical choice rather than a given.
As an action, a creature can make a long jump or high jump after moving at least 10 ft. in a straight line. The distance of jumping is not changed by this variant rule, but doing so does not cost movement.
As a bonus action, a creature may make a standing long jump or high jump. A creature with the Fast Hands feature from the Thief roguish archetype can use the bonus action granted by Cunning Action to make a standing long jump or high jump.
