[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 133553, member: 2011"] First off, don’t allow feats. Feats are above and beyond abilities, not typical abilities. Secondly, my Encyclopedia/Atlas here states that Elephants can charge at 30 MPH. 30 MPH / 60 minutes = 2640 feet per minute = 264 feet per round / 4x running rate = Speed 66 Humans can do the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds = 30 feet per second = 180 feet per round / 4x running rate = Speed 45 Granted, Dashing is not the same as Running since you cannot keep it up for more than 5 or so rounds in real life without slowing up considerably, but even 45 seconds for the 400 meter dash is fairly typical for sprinters = 175 feet per round = Speed 44. Distances further than this drop the speed quickly. 800 meters at 115 seconds (or about 19 rounds) is fairly typical = 137 feet per round = Speed 34 Many runners in the world can beat the 4 minute mile = 15 MPH = Speed 33 or higher over a duration of 40 rounds. However, this does not take into account equipment either. But, I think an equation of Speed = 20 + Dexterity (round to closest 5 feet) would have been better instead of a flat 30 for humans with the possibly of Speed = 25 + Dexterity if you are totally unencumbered (i.e. not carrying anything) for any duration under a minute (i.e. maybe a Sprint rule). YMMV. [/QUOTE]
