Core:Movement Speed

A creature's movement speed determines the maximum amount they can Move in a single action under normal conditions. It is determined by the creature's MOV attribute and is equal to 30 + (10 × MOV) in feet per action. Despite the name, a creature's movement speed alone, does not actually determine how far it can move in practice. Every creature has different movement rates for different types of movement, such as walking, leaping, swimming, climbing, and flying. The possible movement rates are double speed, normal speed, half speed, quarter speed, and no speed. Moving 5 feet at half speed uses 10 feet of movement, while moving 5 feet at double speed uses only 2.5 feet of movement. The following table summarizes the different movement rates.

Movement Rates

Rate	Cost of Moving 5 Feet
Double Speed	2.5 feet
Normal Speed	5 feet
Half Speed	10 feet
Quarter Speed	20 feet
No Speed	Cannot move in this way at all

The default rates for different types of movement are as follows/
