You can move up to one-half your normal speed and hide at no penalty. When moving at a speed greater than one-half but less than your normal speed, you take a -5 penalty. It’s practically impossible (-20 penalty) to hide while attacking, running or charging.RC:You can move up to half your normal speed and hide at no penalty. When moving at a speed greater than half but less than your normal speed, you take a –5 penalty. You can take a –20 penalty on your Hide check to hide while attacking, running, or charging.Both wordings fail to specify how one should treat hiding while moving at EXACTLY normal speed.When hiding while moving at normal speed:you are neither moving at a speed greater than one-half but less than your normal speed (-5) , nor are you running (-20).The way I see it, it's far more logical to treat it with a -5 than with a -20. The -20 goes for extreme motion (attacking, running or charging)I supposed they could have said: When moving at a speed greater than half and up to your normal speed, you take a –5 penalty. You can take a –20 penalty on your Hide check to hide while attacking, running, or charging.I think that this is what they meant! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
