This came up in the game last night should jumping be different for larger creatures. Last night Temauhti-tecuani (one eyed one armed trex from savage tide AP) was trying to jump up and bite the flying warlock blasting him. It seems that a 15' tall creature should be able to jump up easier then a 5' tall humanoid. The DM decided that for the check a creature's size is equivalant. A Human trying to make a 5' high jump is the same as a huge dinosaur trying to make a 15' high jump. Needless to say TT couldn't jump up high (DC was 40) enough to bite the warlock.
Not really, if you take into account the mass of a creature of that size, it would be difficult to get off the ground I would imagine. Take a bear vs a cat for example. Its also a question of build of course with the cat having certain anatomical advantages, but that should be reflected in the individual creature right up. Not a sweeping change to anything with a larger or bigger descripter.
