[QUOTE="Speaks With Stone, post: 500578, member: 375"] <<"Sneaking" (moving silently) is done during a characters movement, be it walking or jogging. You're still confusing movement with speed.>> I'm going to need a little clarification. How are you differentiating movement and speed. I'm using speed as distance moved over a set period of time. Movement is the distance covered with no regard to a set time period. Based on that I'm not sure I understand your point. <<My counter-suggestion for penalty-free silent moves: Walking silently: 2.5 ft/sec Hustling silently: 5 ft/sec Running silently: Nope.>> Which forces me to ask the question, why is there no penalty for moving silently when you are jogging/hustling? Clearly, there should be some sort of bonus for walking or penalty for hustling (same net effect). To that end, I did get my GM to provide me with a +2 bonus for moving less distance in a move action (therefore at a slower speed). P.S. Ha! Rel, I replied before you could snipe me for non-response. :) Thanksgiving holidays sort of limited my computer time, but I'm back now. [/QUOTE]
