Reducing movement speed[edit | edit source]

Reduced Base Movement Speed[edit | edit source]

Gnomes, Halflings, and Dwarves have reduced base movement speed at 7.5 m / 25 ft.


Subtracting from the Base Movement Speed[edit | edit source]

The following conditions reduce an afflicted creature's movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft:

Standing up from the Prone Prone condition spends an amount equal to half the afflicted creature's base movement speed (or 1.5 m / 5 ft with Athlete). In effect, this subtracts from the creature's movement speed on the turn that they stand up on.

Multiplying Movement Cost[edit | edit source]

Certain conditions increase the cost of movement, reducing the distance a creature can actually travel using its movement speed. For example, when its movement cost is doubled, a creature can only cover 4.5 m / 15 ft of ground, despite using its full 9 m / 30 ft of movement speed. This increased movement cost applies after any subtractions or additions.

This multiplication also applies to the cost of actions that expend movement, such as Jumping and standing up from Prone Prone.

The following conditions double an afflicted creature's movement cost:

The following condition triples an afflicted creature's movement cost:

The following conditions quadruple an afflicted creature's movement cost:
