[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 495437, member: 1465"] Well, I have always simply played that when you Move Silently your moving distance is halved. For ex. if you Move Silently for 1 full round, you move 30ft; if you Move Silently for 1 single move action, you move 15ft. You can avoid reducing your moving distance, but with a penalty of -5; in this case you move 60ft in a round, or 30ft in a single move action. You can run, effectively doubling your moving distance, but with -20; in this case you move 120ft in a full-round run, or 60ft in a partial run. This makes sense to me. If it means instead that you can move (in a full round) <15ft with no penalty, 15 to 30ft with -5, then run = 60-120ft with -5, then what happened to 30-60ft? Why doesn't it say clearly that to use the Move Silently skill is always a full-round action? I wish it had an explanation as good as Climb or Balance. I think all our doubts come from the fact that in D&D what we call "Speed" is measured in ft, and therefore it's a distance, not a speed. But it gains the use as a speed because it's the distance per move-action, and with 2 move-actions in a round, you can figure it out that "Speed" becomes ft/half-round... I may be wrong. Probably because we haven't used MS really during the combat roundabout, but mostly as an off-combat skill. [/QUOTE]
