Do you actually leap when using the Leaping Shot Deed?

When using the Leaping Shot Deed does your character actually leave the ground? or is more akin to the Shot on the Run Combat Feat? for example I'm playing a gunslinger in a bar full of tables. Would I be able to leap over some of the tables guns blazing as the description says, or do I have to move around the tables while I am firing?

No

Personally, since this is costing your a grit point, AND specifies that you fall prone at the end of the movement, I would let it ignore low obstacles and terrain - you are jumping around.. I like to picture the gunslinger landing prone because he's sliding on his back all John Woo style. ;)

my biggest problem with this is it states you move your full speed, I dont know about you but I can not jump thirty feet XD I feel this feat needs a bit more explaining in the rules. Maybe you can move half your speed and jump the other? that seems like a more plausible deed.

I don't envision it as a 30 foot jump.. I'm picturing the gunslinger jumping, rolling across bar tops, sliding across the floor, etc... Basically spending a grit to flip and slid and jump and dive in the course of his normal movement.

Again, this is just my take on it and how I'd let a player use it. I will definitely agree that further explanation on it is needed from the Devs.

When I first read it, I thought of a gunslinger leaping around a corner, getting six full seconds of air time and a thirty foot jump, firing his guns the whole way, and landing on his side, skidding and kicking up dust.

It was a funny thought.
