[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 3823593, member: 4722"] Right. I never said they were. I went back and did a little work on this system, and I renamed Run x3, x4, and x5 to Run, Dash, and Sprint respectively - it made it a lot easier to me to keep track of things. I've let it sit for awhile becasue I got busy with more important things, but before that, I calculated some numbers. A person hustling (x2 speed) can run a marathon in about 4 hours. A person running (x3 speed) can run a marathon in about 2.5 hours. A person dashing (x4 speed) can run a marathon in just under 2 hours (world record pace). Oddly enough (and sadly) there's no equatable speed for a 3-hour pace, unless someone chooses to move at a rate between x2 and x3 (which he can choose to do - you don't always [i]have[/i] to move at full speed all the time). He will fail some Con checks; a friend of mine who's run in marathons said he was sore for a couple days afterward (which equates to Con damage). Anyway, my point is that someone with the feats and who is in shape CAN run at a x3 or x4 pace for long distances, which (obviously) directly contradicts the rules. Not all PCs will be able to do that, but I want to make it possible for them to do so if they choose, while still following real-world physics. [/QUOTE]
