Is there a write on how to do this?

I am looking to tweak 5ed how to this?

1. It depends on what "low magic" is. I run Hârn as low-magic but others would find it too magic heavy.

2. Consider that no powers just talents. A sort of "Pulp Action" set in the medieval era.  The GM controls what happens because the character simple summon a force or entity. Think Indiana Jones - the characters simple fight to summon the magic and then it comes.

No.

Because normally the is one SPD - 3, with one 2 and one 4 as outliers. This way they are 3 - 2.5,3,3.5 - with 2 and 4 as outliers. So there are 5 viable SPDs rather than 3. 

>What do you use it for?

In normal games, in my experience, almost all characters are 3. What I do is:

1. Double the turn length.

2. Double the number of actions, so 2 SPD has 4.

3. Insert  .5, that is 2.5 (which will have 5 SPD) and 3.5 (which will have an 7 SPD)

4. Give a post-6 recovery.

Basically double the number in a 24 second turn.

A Canticle for Leibowitz - classic post-apocalypse.

I use .5 SPD in Heroic games.
