Why are all movement rates in increments of 10?

[Urbannen]

Is there a reason why movement rates can't also come in increments of 5? Like, dwarves, goblins, and kobolds having a movement rate of 25?

makes everything nice and "round" and easy. That's likely too why they changed the gargoyle's speed in 3.5 from 3e.

One of the splat books, I believe song and silence, has a feat called "Dash" which grants you a +5 base speed...

That's a start, I suppose...

And the MR for non-medium monks of different level has some that end in 5.

Some things added in half your speed or limited you to half your speed, if it was in 5 foot increments you would not end up in a square at the end of moving but half-way between two squares.

I don't know about that half-speed thing - the Blind-Fight feat already allows you to move three-fourths your movement when you can't see. 3/4 of 30 ft is 22.5 feet. I assume that rounds down to 20 feet.

I should have put in that my statement was based merely on conjecture, not based on any solid textual source.

You beat me to it.

Kids these days they just love the number 10... don't know why but they do.

If the gods intended us to have movement rates increments of 10, they would have given us ten fingers and ten toes.
