Movement rate in B/X (LL, LotFP, ACK) are:
120(40)/90(30)/60(20)/30(10). Under the
S&W (as well as C&T) rules, movement rates are identical except in a
“Combat round”. In an “indoor” situation
rates are 12/9/6/3 FEET while “outdoor” 12/9/6/3 YARDS.
Question: In S&W, Outdoor rates in feet are 36/27/18/9, much
closer to B/X et al. Why the discrepancy
for indoor movement? I would imagine
this makes a very substantial difference for indoor combat?
Indoor movement rates assume that the party is exploring a dungeon, mapping carefully, which is factored into the movement rate.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make that much difference in combat, though, because S&W uses a 1 minute combat round, and 120 feet of movement is more than you usually need in a dungeon setting.
