CrosshairCollie Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Re: How fast should various things be? Horses of varying breeds... dogs... elephants... Speed of plot? Or pick up the Bestiary, I suppose ... I figure most typical animals will be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute answer, which doesn't help in personal scale combat. ;D Or in a more strategically oriented game. This Bestiary you speak of might help.

Susano Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Re: How fast should various things be? The Bestiary would help, as it gives DEX, Running, and SPD for many animals. Also, you can look up stuff in Wikipedia and see if it gives a maximum running speed and then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jogger Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Re: How fast should various things be? Ok, to give a roughy answer, horses can go between 4 MPH walk to up to 20-30 MPH at a gallop (for only a minute or two) or up to 55 MPH for a race horse. Working backwards, that suggests a 6" Running with x8 Non-Combat Multiplier (with limitations as needed) if you're talking 2 SPD. Race horses might have up to 10" Running with x8 Non-Combat. For SPD 3, that's 4" (or 7" for a race horse). And for SPD 4, that's 3" (or 5" for a race horse). Realize these are rough numbers, and YMMV. Dogs are alot easier, there are roughly two kinds. The ones you can outrun and the ones you can't. Since you're doing strategy based, assume dogs will have a 3 or 4 SPD and probably 4" to 8" Running with your standard x2 Non-Combat. 8" at 4 SPD is scary (10 MPH, 20 MPH Non-combat) while 4" at 3 SPD is only going to get that slow guy in the party with a 2 SPD or a bad leg (4 MPH, 8 MPH Non-combat). Elephants, you're on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
