Why is Speed so unpopular?

[dmjalund]

I like the current chart better. Scattering phases for each speed evenly over the turn generates a better flow of combat, IMO. 4 SPD moving every 3 segments has a better feel, at least for me, than alternating between 2 and 4 segment gaps. It might not play a lot different in order of actions in a combat, but it just looks off to me.

his does have the advantage that it is much easier to use "Speed only for certain actions'

I've adapted the 16 speed grid above into a 12 speed

Will combat still start on Segment 12? If that is the case, any character with SPD 1 won't get an action in the first turn. Looking at the current speed chart for 6E, I guess that is the way it works now anyways, so maybe it's not an issue?

I'd go with SPD 32, myself. Then I can just use the impulse cards from SFB.

If the people who think their is not enough difference in speed to move to speed 60 and the "round" is 60 seconds long?

Speed costs 2 each up to 60 speed.

Endurance costs the same with a mid recovery at the end of 12 seconds.

Normal speed table is just repeated for each 5 times (so a speed 2 is actually speed 10, speed 3 is 15 etc).

So people could stick to the 5, 10, 15,20 speed total or make a 8 speed person who is in between the 5 and 10.

Very little change in the rest of the game (but I have not though it through that much ).

I will let someone else try to do a 60 speed chart as it will be a big problem to get it ballanced so everyone is happy .

This could definitely help to give more granularity. Only tracking it on a sheet of paper could be problematic, but it doesn't runs into endurance/recovery problems (as 16 SPD chart does).
