You know that they reduced the power of the Jump spell in 3.5e, so that it gives a scaling bonus (+10, +20 @5th, +30@9th)...

I just noticed that this makes it pretty useless when compared with expeditious retreat.

Both 1st level spells, both same duration (1min/level), but until you reach 5th level exp. retreat beats jump hands down.

+30ft move *also* gives you +12 jump automatically! Compare that with +10 from the spell that is all about jumping and it seems a bit loony.

The only thing that Jump has that exp. retreat doesn't is that you can cast it on a friend. Apart from that it seems feeble in comparison.
