[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 500004, member: 1118"] Since the rules seem to say that the speed listed on your sheet is how far you can move with a move action, that's what I interpret it to mean. So if I have a speed of 30ft, I can move 30ft with a move action. If, I am moving silently, then I have a speed of 15ft and can move 15ft with a move action (I don't care if that's a walk or a hustle, it's a move action in my books). Again, why is this a big deal? You are fixated on the word "walk" and the movement chart in the SRD. Thus, in your games, you say that people move at half their "walking speed" when moving silently, which means they move 7.5ft per move action. As long as it's all consistent then it's all good. I personally don't like 7.5ft for a move action, so as correct as your arguments sound, I'm just going to take the easy round and apply the half modifier to your base speed instead. It makes someone moving silently move slower than someone who isn't and that's all that counts in the end. I also think that the movement section of the SRD is poorly written. They specifically call a hustle two move-eq actions even though (and I think we all agree) in combat if you take one movement action you're not walking :) This, implies, that they are thinking of movement in terms of actions as opposed to rounds and that the base - normal - speed is what is listed on your sheet as your speed per action.
