Walk
Base Time = Physical Fitness
Base Time is in minutes.
TH Increase = (301 - Physical Fitness) / 40
If a walk check is failed, then the character
must stop. After another Base Time while resting,
this character may attempt to walk again. To determine
distance in terms of miles walked per hour,
adjust the Sprint speed for Encumbrance (see Chap.
9: Equipment) and divide by 20. Difficult terrain may
also impede the distance traveled (see Chap. 18: Warfare).
Crawl on Hands and Knees
Base Time = Physical Fitness
Base Time is in minutes.
TH Increase = (301 - Physical Fitness) / 30
If a crawl on hands and knees check is failed,
then the character must rest. After another Base
Time while resting, this character may attempt to
crawl on hands and knees again.
Crawl, Prone
Base Time = Physical Fitness
Base Time is in minutes.
TH Increase = (311 - Physical Fitness) / 40
If a prone crawl check is failed, then the
character must rest. After another Base Time while
resting, this character may attempt to prone crawl
again.
Forced March
A forced march occurs when a leader forces
warriors to march beyond 10 hours in a day. After 2
hours of forced march or 12 hours of marching
(which is originally 25% of a character’s Sprint
speed), a Sprint skill check must be passed at a TH
of 17 or the character needs to rest due to exhaustion.
To rest, a character may attempt to pass a
Sprint skill check every minute, then being able to
move at 20% pace, next at 50%, 75%, and finally be
fully recovered.
Angle of Elevation
Since it is more difficult to move uphill than
downhill, angle of elevation becomes relevant to all
movement.
Uphill: If the character is attempting to
move uphill, acquire a calculator with a button called
‘sin’, also known as sine. Put your calculator in ‘Degrees’
mode. Press ‘sin’ and then enter the degree
of elevation. Multiply the result by 100 and consider
this to be a percentage of loss in speed. For
instance, if a character is capable of sprinting 50
feet per round, but they attempt to Sprint at an uphill
angle of 45 o , then [(sin 45 = 0.7071) x 100] =
70% of loss in speed. Instead of sprinting 50 feet
in a round, this character may only Sprint 15 (50 x
.3) feet per round at an uphill angle of 45 o .
