[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 497501, member: 1465"] Actually, in the SRD it says that with base Speed 30 you either "walk" 30ft/round or "hustle" 60ft/round, which represents a double move. Apart that it doesn't say that "walk" represents a single move, I am still convinced that nobody really "walks" in combat, although there is a walking speed listed for tactical movement during combat. In fact it says that on a standard action you're hustling "half of the time". At this point, why to think 30/move should be wrong doesn't make sense to me. Then the SRD says NOTHING about using Move Silently either as a move action, a full-round action or whatever, while the SRD is instead very clear when describing Climb and Balance. For Move Silently it simply says "the character moves up to one-half his normal speed", without really saying if it walks half speed in 1 full round or if it hustles half speed in 1 move action. Please notice, that I find it very reasonable that if one is moving silently he moves slower than when he WALKS, but I still think that the SRD explanation isn't clear enough during combat. Effectively, I have never seen a PC moving silently in combat, which is probably the reason why it doesn't say much clear about it. The confusion is IMO because if you say in normal language "half speed" it means half speed, whatever your speed. In D&D Speed is really a distance, and half Speed means half distance. Still the SRD doesn't say "move half Speed every round", just "move half speed". I re-state that IMO it doesn't make much difference unless you are moving silently in combat, which I have never seen (surprise someone from the back? when combat is but a whole simultaneous action by all characters involved? and without facing rules?) I hope that a next version of SRD will have that "every round" missing, once and forever! :) [/QUOTE]
