[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 2140512, member: 2013"] You're looking for "overland movement." Not sure of the DMG reference (you can probably use the index) but here's the SRD Reference/link: [url]http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/v35/CarryingandExploration.rtf[/url] A journey of 1,000 miles by foot for a human (assuming walking and no terrain difficulty, since you would be hard-pressed to go on a forced march of 1,000 miles) would take... 1000 miles/24 miles/day = 41.67 days. Assuming you have enough food and water, I don't think it's unrealsitic. The SRD states the movement rates shown assume 8 hours of travel - [i]Walk: A character can walk 8 hours in a day of travel without a problem. Walking for longer than that can wear him or her out (see Forced March, below).[/i] - most of us today can work/stay on our feet for 8 hours... and most of us are not exactly in "adventuring shape," I'll wager. ;) Horses have an overland speed of 48 miles (compare with human with a Tactical speed of 30 going 24 miles per day) so you would be correct that horses would be twice as fast. Analagous to humans, the horse is only going 8 hours per day and probably would not need a day off; horseshoes, etc. are probably like 'sharpening swords' and 'repairing armor' - it's assumed to take place "off camera." --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
