[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 502451, member: 96"] Yes. [b]Walk[/b]. Not hustle. [b]Walk.[/b] Is a hustle a walk? No, it's a hustle. It's twice as fast as a walk. Are you walking when you move 30 feet and then do something else? No, you're hustling - you're moving twice as fast as you would if you were walking: "[b]A character who moves his speed and takes some action, such as attacking or casting a spell, is hustling for about half the round[/b]". (p 143) You are making too much of the fact that half a round of hustling lets you move the same distance as a full round of walking. Of course it does! Hustling is twice as fast, but if you only take a single move, you move for half as long. 30 * 2 * 1/2 = 30. Is there any conceivable reason to say that 'walk' on that table represents hustling for half a round and then standing around for the other half of the round doing something else, when 'walk' never means that anywhere else in the book? No. Is 'walk' half the speed of a hustle? Yes. Is 30 feet per round half of 60 feet per round? Yes. Is, therefore, a 'double move' of walking half the speed of a double move of hustling? Yes. Is it not logical, therefore, to presume that the first entry on the table in Chapter 9 reflects how far one can get doing nothing but movement type X for time period Y, just like [b]every other entry on the table[/b]? Yes. J [/QUOTE]
