[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7560844, member: 2629"] Keeping it relatively simple: RUN (bonus action): If 1.) you are carrying less than your strength score in weight, 2.) you used the dash action, and 3.) all of your movement was in a straight line: Then you may use this action to move up to the same distance you have already moved this turn so long as it continues in the same direction that you have already moved. Turning will slow them down. A high level wood elf monk with the mobile feet (speed 75) could use this option to reach roughly 35 MPH. A very good real world sprinter is going to be able to reach about 20 MPH - which would be a speed of about 45 in D&D, something that takes a little effort, but is in line with a monk or mobile feat PC. As for the limit on how long you can do this... wing it. Allow it for the length of a combat, but use a 45 speed character equaling a championship athlete in the real world as a benchmark to determine how fast a PC can run long distances. A roughly two hour marathon is the top of human achievement. I'd let a 45 speed PC do that... or a 75 speed (wood elf high level monk wth mobility) achieve that in about 75 minutes. [/QUOTE]
