Flying Triple Weapon Attack

As for the surprise, do note that, unless I'm mistaken, you are still restricted to Move yards/sec in a jump - meaning that even if he has a Move of 10, that jump's still taking over 5 seconds. That's a lot of time for his opponent to notice and react...

Very Fit works for lost FP, not spent FP, so no.

So a combination DWA + Kiai would add another [4]? Seems reasonable.

I did forget about the jump speed limit. It's the greater of max jump distance/5 or Move, so 10.8.

On Very Fit:

I take that as saying it does apply to spent FP so that e.g. the 10 FP for Great Rage would become 5 FP. On the other hand, it does agree that FP spent in one Maneuver can't be aggragated before being divided. So you're right.

For high jump, it's 44", little better than a meter or yard. Running you go to 88", 2.44y, or 2.23m. Flying jump will put him 7y from the ground.

I based it on this:

"You may do the math on p. B352 or simply approximate: the better of Basic Move/4 or Jumping/8 yards, doubled out of combat or with a running start, or quadrupled for both."

As an approximation it does seem pretty loose.
