Method And Explanation
Baldur's Gate Series

Stand near a wall where you want to hop over. Then fill the surrounding space around you with NPCs (Party members, monsters, familiars, ...). Then polymorph into a creature which takes more space than the character's natural form. If the character doesn't fit in the current location (because it's surrounded by other creatures), then the game checks the nearest possible location where it could place you. This nearest location can be behind a unpassable wall if everything else is populated with creatures.
