[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9815347, member: 4937"] The same way a Hulking Hurler is capable of throwing a hapless victim to the moon I'd imagine - by abusing and staking multiplying effects that were published in multiple official sources without editorial oversight because moving fast wasn't considered an abusable effect. Go look around the CharOp boards. In 5e it had something to do with a Tabaxi (the calculated movement rate was like 11000 ft/round). CharOp has never been particular interesting to me as a GM save as a warning what sort of things not to allow in my game, but a lot of players are really into it and there is plenty of advice online. It doesn't really matter what level the scenario is designed for. A "well-known traveler, explorer, and adventurer" offers a "king's ransom" to whomever completes the challenge, and the Pathfinder Society (or equivalent organization) organizes and supports it, so obvious it will not be open merely to the PC's. There is every reason to imagine that this would gather the interest of every aura farming wizard or explorer for a wide radius. Pretending that only a few low level idiots would be interested in the fame and glory is kind of like ignoring just how fast you can cover ground in D&D even without a teleportation spell. If the PC's aren't high enough level to harness the resources necessary to win, then they are observers in the story rather than protagonists. The question is what's the highest level NPCs in the setting that would reasonably be interested in aura farming a contest like this to demonstrate their cleverness or just for the experience. Think about in the real world how many teams ran the Cannonball Run during the pandemic. They were breaking new records multiple times a week for no prize at all. [/QUOTE]
