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 66Humans can do the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds = 30 feet per second = 180 feet per round / 4x running rate = Speed 45Granted, 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 34Many 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.</blockquote>
