[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 6163517, member: 63962"] I haven't read what a forced march is in 5e, but in earlier editions, it was walking at 50% above normal speed. My "normal" speed is about 5 kmph, a forced march would be 7.5 kmph, well above my max walking speed of 6 kmph. I wouldn't last 4 hours, much less 18. Let's say it's 4/6 kmph instead. 6kmph is something I could do for hours on end, but 18? That means 6*18 = 108 km in less than a day. The longest I have walked in a day is around 26km (but that was in the mountains, not on roads, so it's more comparable to about 40km). The longest I have walked in time is 9 and 10 hours. After the 9 hours walk I was ok the next day, while after the 10 hours walk I was exhausted. The usual length is 6-7 hours. To me this indicates that every hour over the usual 8 hour "workday" gets exponentially harder. The chance of getting any of the "normal" problems like gall (if that's the right word) or a very sore foot or knee, ankle or hip joint problems is probably what will stop you. My conclusion, 108km in 18 hours is something I would reserve for the 1% of the population that is doing endurance sports, for instance participating in marathons on a regular basis. For myself who like talking walks in the mountains, and do on a regular basis, it would just be too far in to short a time. [/QUOTE]
