List of sources of movement speed

Movement speed is a Resource that determines how far you can move each turn. It can be affected by certain actions, Races, class features, feats, and spells.

Most races have a base movement speed of 9 m / 30 ft; Dwarves, Halflings, and Gnomes have a base movement speed of 7.5 m / 25 ft; Wood Elves and Wood Half-Elves have a base movement speed of 10.5 m / 35 ft.

Increasing your movement speed

Temporary

While in turn-based mode, using  Dash Action can double your movement speed. Several classes also have class features which function similarly to dash:

• Rogues receive the class feature  Cunning Action: Dash at Level 2, which can double their movement speed as a Bonus action.
• Monks receive the class feature  Step of the Wind: Dash at level 2, which can double their movement at the cost of Bonus action + Ki Point.

Other methods:

• Gloom Stalker Rangers receive the class feature  Dread Ambusher, increasing movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft on the first turn of combat only.
• Wildheart Barbarians who select the Bestial Heart  Elk Heart increase their movement speed by 4.5 m / 15 ft while Raging.
• Wildheart Barbarians who select the Bestial Heart  Wolf Heart and Druids who Wild Shape into a  Wolf can use  Inciting Howl and  Inciting Howl (Wolf), respectively, to increase the movement speed of nearby allies by 3 m / 10 ft for 1 turn.
• Battle Master Fighters can use  Manoeuvring Attack to increase an ally's Movement Speed by half for 1 turn.
• The level 1 ritual spell  Longstrider increases a creature's movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft until the next Long Rest.
• When under the  Hastened condition, movement speed is doubled (see the condition page for sources of Haste). Affected creatures also have a second Action (which can be used to Dash a second time for even further mobility).
• Using  Jump, or  flying can also give a slight increase in movement speed.

Item-based

• Certain items can give the  Momentum condition, which increases movement speed by 1.5 m / 5 ft per remaining stack (see the condition page for sources of Momentum).
•  Transmuter's Stone: Speed created by a Transmutation School Wizard grants an additional 3 m / 10 ft movement speed while in a character's inventory. The stone lasts until the Wizard who created it makes another stone, or until the next Long Rest.
• Elixir of Elven Elegance grants an additional 10 m / 33 ft movement speed when consumed. This effect lasts until the next Long Rest, but will be overridden if another Elixir is consumed.
• Nyrulna grants an additional 3 m / 10 ft movement speed while equipped.
• Crusher's Ring grants an additional 3 m / 10 ft movement speed while equipped.
• Featherlight Boots grants an additional 3 m / 10 ft movement speed while its wearer has 50% Hit Points or less.
• Martial Exertion Gloves grants the free action Martial Exertion, doubling movement speed and gaining an additional action at the cost of taking significant damage. This action can only be used once per Short Rest.
• Boots of Speed grants the bonus action Click Heels, doubling movement speed and inflicting Disadvantage on Opportunity Attacks against its wearer.

Permanent

Some classes have class features which increase their base speed:

• Barbarians receive the class feature  Fast Movement at Level 5, which increases their movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft while not wearing Heavy Armour.
  • Wildheart Barbarians can choose the Animal Aspect  Aspect of the Beast (Elk) at level 6 or 10, which increases the movement speed of themselves and nearby allies by 1.5 m / 5 ft.
• Monks receive the class feature  Unarmoured Movement at level 2, which increases their movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft while not wearing armour or using a shield. This bonus improves to 4.5 m / 15 ft and 6 m / 20 ft at levels 6 and 10, respectively, with  Improved Unarmoured Movement.
• The Mobile feat permanently increases movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft.

Reducing movement speed

Movement speed can also be reduced or restricted entirely.

See individual condition pages for infliction sources.

•  Stunned cannot move
•  Restrained cannot move
•  Difficult Terrain halves movement while on a surface that inflicts this
•  Encumbered reduces movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft
•  Heavily Encumbered greatly reduces movement speed
•  Muddy halves movement speed
• Incapacitated conditions cause a creature to become immobile
• Prone conditions cause a creature to use half it's movement speed to stand up

 Freedom of Movement can prevent restriction of movement from certain sources.
