Mmmmm while strength and athletics are causally related in 5e it just triggers my reality button. Elepahnts are strong and can walk 100's of miles sure but they weigh upto 6 metric tonnes. They could throw a car, even a truck and as they are so incredibly strong can jump over a building...... Buzz buzz buzz DOES NOT COMPUTE!! They are incaapable of making 4 feet leave the ground.
I knew a guy in the army who was about 5 foot 3" tall and could carry INSANE (like 125kg) weight on his back and tab (march) 20 miles. He could do 200 weighted pullups on his fingertips, he was a professional rock climber. He only had problems jumping/projecting distances because of his body mass and short stubby legs.
Ever see someone do the tripple jump? Fast, light weight and tall = jump high/far. You need to be athletic to be acrobatic. You don't see 350lb body builders doing anything other than lift stuff.
In BG 3 there is no tightrope shimmy stuff or balance or rock climing or any practical use of the acrobatics skill. I would love it if a thief could climb a wall without the need to jump/climb on boxes, like spiderman. People can do this in real life. The underdark would gain a new dimension if you could climb round rather than jump over.
Picture this, you enter the abaondoned village and spot the gobs waiting in ambush. You send a thief round the side who sneaks to the front, climbs the wall and sneak attacks the first goblin on the first floor alcove from below while still attached to the wall trowing him in the street. He/she then sneaks round the back of the building, climbs up behind the lead goblins and does a John Wick.
This is one of those examples where something clearly does not translate from pen and paper. I don't care how much strength you have you ain't jumping 40 foot from a stationary position. World record standing long jump is bit over 10 foot. If you were running at 70 kph maybe but when you landed you would be using your face as a brake for the next 20 meters giving you the bruce jenner look.
