D&D 5E How much speed could a fast monk gain, if a fast monk could gain speed?

[MENTION=1656]Hypersmurf[/MENTION] has a similar scheme to accelerate someone in 5e, known as the "commoner railgun." It's… silly. And awesome.

This is the most awesome thread I have ever seen anywhere!

The fact that this monk can come at you at the speed of a MLB fastball is a glorious image.

Wood elf: 35
Monk 14: +25
Barbarian 5: +10
Mobile feat: +10
Transmuter's Stone (loaned):+10
Magic Initiate (feat) - Longstrider: +10

Speed: 100'

Haste (cast by ally): 200'

In a round:
Action: Dash
Step of the Wind: Dash (bonus)
Haste: Dash (extra action)
Total: 600' in 6 seconds.

If Monk 13/Barbarian 5/Fighter 2, gain access to Action Surge. Base speed drops to 95' (Hasted to 190').

In a round:
Action: Dash
Step of the Wind: Dash (bonus)
Haste: Dash (extra action)
Action Surge: Dash (extra action)
Total: 760' in 6 seconds.

We've gotten it up to 106.25 MPH, or 935 feet in one round (see posts 7 and 8.) I can't say how much this delights me.

Yeah, but swap out Expeditious Retreat for Longstrider (+10 speed), and use Step of the Wind for the extra Dash.

Faster than a spider monkey, this monk is.

The real question is... Only using up to 20th level and the core books, can 2e, 3e or 4e produce a faster character?

Using just core 3.0, a 20th level monk is base move 90', boots of Striding and Springing doubled that to 180', the Run feat increased the run multiplier to x5, being hasted gives an extra partial action you can use for a partial run (another x2 move), for a total run of x7, or 1260' per round, or 143mph. I'm sure there are other feats and items that could boost it further in the splatbooks.

Well, that was surprisingly simple. I nixxed the splat books in my query because 5e hasn't gone splat yet, and adding in the usual rules creep would probably really kill it
