Even fourth edition recognized there was an important difference between five squares of movement during combat, and six.What is going on? I'm curious if I'm the only one who thinks upping their speed to 30 is an insult to the history of the game, it's comedic picturing how fast a 3 foot gnome's legs must move to keep up to a five or six foot tall human.Time to get a poll going, because Wizards of the Coast apparently doesn't think consulting the playerbase is important anymore, before they ram through such sweeping changes on a whim without being vetted by the community.As you can tell by my Avatar, I'm a HUGE fan of Dwarves, but it's not their speed that makes them appealing to me, it's what they can do when they get close up to you that matters most. Normalizing speeds to me takes flavor away, and tries to solve a "problem" which no one, to my knowledge, has ever complained about. Wizards, why are you tampering with such an important core stat in the game, common to every edition (AFAIK), without even posting a single survey to validate how people feel about it?</blockquote>
