[QUOTE="Wulfgar76, post: 6257866, member: 61867"] I did. Foremost among them is there is no good reason for differing speeds among small humanoids (goblin vs halfling). Another is it rarely matters during a battle, so why not make all speeds the same for simplicity's sake. Another it is a minor fiddly handicap for those races that has little reason for existing aside from tradition. Another is for uniformity in calculating overland travel speed (for the 6 people who actually care about it) Just because you believe 'big stuff is faster than small stuff' does not make that resemble reality. RunningBack vs Lineman? Point Guard vs Center? Jackrabbit vs Elephant? Come to think of it, assuming large creatures are automatically faster than small ones is [I]terrible[/I] verisimilitude! If you want to limit it to Pathological Dwarf versus Normal Human then yeah, you got me there. I think one thing makes sense to you, the rules of 3rd edition, and this is different from that - so you dislike it. [/QUOTE]
