[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 4710671, member: 57383"] Well, as mentioned before in a lot of fiction & films a pulp-style carnivorous dinosaur moves with horrible speed and vitality, so I'm not completely sure about the plodding-ness. I can think of some stories & films where the Awesomely Big Carnosaur pursues some humans who are just able to keep ahead of it long enough to reach safety (a cave, climbing a tree etc), and others where its fast enough to catch the bad guy or disposable natives to show how nasty it is, so I'm thinking it should be a bit faster than an average human, but not that much faster. Obviously there's some variation, in [I]The Valley of Gwangi[/I] the titular theropod could run fast enough to pluck a man from the back of a galloping horse, and in others the pursued party may be faster than an average human - a Conan or Tarzan type, who probably has Speed 40 ft. So, how about leave the Primal Rex its Speed 40 ft., but swap its Run feat for something else? That way it would run 160' per round (4 [FONT=Arial][FONT=&quot]×[/FONT][/FONT]40), ten feet faster than a regular human with Run (5 [FONT=Arial][FONT=&quot]×[/FONT][/FONT]30=140')? EDIT: Are you alright with the type, ability scores & advancement? [/QUOTE]
