Re: SPD inflation obesrvation & solution
There are a few perfectly normal people who have a very high SPD stat. If you ever watch some one who does quality control on an assembly line or some such they are acting once per second or so to check every item that passes them. I recently saw a documentary on cranberries and there were people who picked out bad berries at a rate faster than one per second. Just because someone might have a hi SPD stat does not make them an athelete, just superior response time and perhaps a hi DEX as well for the hand-eye coordination to pick those bad berries. In my GMing experience the only people who care about their overland running or flying speed that much are those who qualify as Superspeeders. Our games have escalated over the years though, so that now the average SPD is a 6. Most Agents and such are 3s to 4s. My only problem with this is that very few fights last through a segment 12 REC phase.
