Tonight we went into a little detail about how helms work for 5E. I used the suggestions from this thread that a caster could expend a cantrip slot for Speed Rating (SR) 1, a cantrip and a 1st level for SR2, Cantrip, 1st, and 2nd for SR3 and so forth. I'm using the Flow map by Nerik over at the Cartographer's Guild. It's a beautiful piece of work with travel times listed, but I don't actually know for what speed rating those travel times are intended.The character right now can't really get their ship above SR4 with the system as I'm using it; they're only 6th level. I'm wondering if maybe I should let them spend extra spell slots per level for speed boosts in the flow, or if standard cruising speed is a pretty slow rating like SR1. According to the map, it's 22 days from Realmspace to Greyspace, plus another 10 days travel from the edge of the Crystal Sphere to Oerth. So, just over a month to haul stuff from Faerun to Greyhawk. That seems reasonable at normal cruising speed. But, just what IS normal cruising speed?</blockquote>
