- Although the description says that movement speed is "doubled", what is actually happening is that the speed is being additively increased by its current amount. The distinction matters when a character takes the Dash action multiple times on the same turn through the use of features such as Action Surge or Cunning Action. For instance, if a character with a speed of 30 ft uses Dash twice, their speed for that turn becomes 90 ft (30 + 30 + 30) rather than 120 ft (30 * 2 * 2).
