It's obvious for 5e players and DM's, but not for a random player who could feel like he wasted time by playing a class that cant jump and attack in the same round.


Looking at this, jump should be a bonus action, but it shouldn't ignore Attacks of Opportunity. They just need a separate Disengage ability that takes a full action to use to move out of melee for Attacks of Opportunity.
