Speed

Speed is one of your character's nine physical stats.

No skill is governed by this stat, however the base Mobility value is 5× Speed. Mobility is important enough for your gameplay to roll the dices until you get a decent Speed. Too low a speed can result in becoming almost completely immobilized by even light encumbrance.

Gameplay effects of speed include the rate of movement of walking, running, paddling a raft/punt, hauling, swimming, hiding and crawling. Resting by pressing. or 5, as well as turning around, is also affected and takes slightly less time if speed is higher.
