[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8514288, member: 6987520"] Maybe, but I hardly think changing small creatures base move from 25 to 30 is important move towards simplifying things when it was more realistic to give them (or some anyway) a speed of 25. It is, for the most part, an inconsequential change to make so why bother doing it? Worse, it is moving in the wrong direction (no pun intended). That is a different issue but I agree the movement rules are severely lacking in [I]many[/I] ways. Your child at age 3-5 would be roughly kindergarten age (depending on when he started), which according to this paper would give him a speed of less that 25 feet (50 feet was walked in a mean 13.5 second, [I]over[/I] two rounds, would be a speed 22.2 feet), appropriate for a small creature. By the time a child reached Grade 6, their walking speed would be nearly 30 feet (50 feet in 10.5 seconds is a speed of 28.6 feet), which also is appropriate because by then they would no longer qualify as a small creature, but a medium-size one. At any rate, "dashing" is not a "run" IMO, for most people it would be a quick jog. So, you are entirely correct in that "You can't even run per the rules", which is why if a book came out [I]with[/I] better rules for movement and other things, I would buy it in a heartbeat. But the types of changes listed in the OP are entirely fluff/pointless IMO and make this release by WotC another disappointment. :( [/QUOTE]
