Sprint
This fundamental skill determines the duration
a character may move and at different speeds,
including: sprint, run, brisk jog, jog, walk, crawl on
hands and knees, crawl prone, and forced marches.
Check: Roll 1d100. Unless the character is
naked, apply the modifier from the Encumbrance
(see Chap. 9: Equipment) to the number of feet
sprinted per round listed in the Physical Fitness subability
1 . Next, depending on the speed at which the
character desires to move, a check must be made.
Various speeds are described below. Though Physical
Fitness is the sub-ability for this skill, its role is
to determine a character’s speed, not to adjust their
skill check rolls. SP invested in this skill do not increase
the character’s speed, but increase only skill
check rolls. Finally, consider the angle of elevation
at which the character runs; elevation is covered last.

Speed
All characters are only able to move so long.
Therefore, a check will need to be made periodically.
The periodicity of the check is the Base Time.
Base Time is based on the speed at which a character
moves. At each multiple of Base Time, a character
must make a check. The TH increases depending
on the number of multiples of Base Time.
If the check is failed, then the character must decelerate
or stop, depending on the type of movement.
Sprint
Base Time = (Physical Fitness / 10)
Base Time is in seconds.
TH Increase = (301 - Physical Fitness) / 13
If a Sprint check is failed, the character must
decelerate to running. After another Base Time
while running, this character may attempt to Sprint
again.
Run
Base Time = Physical Fitness
Base Time is in rounds.
TH Increase = (301 - Physical Fitness) / 17
If a run check is failed, then the character
must decelerate to a brisk jog. After another Base
Time at a brisk jog, this character may attempt to
run again.
Brisk Jog
Base Time = Physical Fitness
Base Time is in rounds.
TH Increase = (301 - Physical Fitness) / 19
If a brisk jog check is failed, then the character
must decelerate to jogging. After another Base
Time while jogging, this character may attempt to a
brisk jog again.
Jog
Base Time = Physical Fitness
Base Time is in rounds.
TH Increase = (301 - Physical Fitness) / 21
If a jog check is failed, then the character
must decelerate to walking. After another Base Time
while walking, this character may attempt to jog
again.

1. According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the fastest sprinter is Donovan Bailey, who is from Canada, ran the 100m
sprint in the 1996 Olympic Games in 9.84 seconds, is 6’ 1”, and 182 lbs. If his speed were converted into F.A.T.A.L. Sprint
speed, Donovan would have a Sprint speed of 99.9’.
