Move (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

This is a secondary attribute determined by your race; a measure of how fast you move. Most creatures can only run along the ground, but various power allows you to use your move for different things.

Humans and most humanoids have a Move of 5.

Combat Movement

In combat, a character can move a number of meters equal to his [Move_(Action)|Move] with any basic (3-shot) action he takes, or he can do a Full Move, moving twice that at the expense of other activity. The meters/action noted on the chart are not used. Combat movement normally happens before actions and ends when your action ends; if you split your action the movement ends as you finish the last part of your action.

Chase Action

Sometimes an action scene takes place at great speed. This requires open terrain; a road or open ground for cars, open water or sky for other vehicles. It is generally pretty obvious what kind of move should apply; if there is doubt use normal movement. In such an open scene, Move can be applied to the fullest, and you can move at the full meters/action speed - see Move Benchmarks .

Traffic Chase

When traffic is moving at a certain speed, anyone and anything capable of moving at this speed or faster can participate. Set up a traffic situation with vehicles on a road (or other venue); this is the static traffic and are all assumed to be traveling at a fixed speed. They make up the terrain of the chase. Then play out combat normally, moving among the vehicles as if they were static objects.

For greater Move scores, +10 Move equals *10 movement speed.

Schticks

Dash

Trigger Action (Combo)

As a combo, before another action that allows movement, you can move an additional time.

Sprint

Inherent

You can exceed your racial Move by up to two points. You still have to pay for these attribute points.

Super Speed

Inherent

You can freely exceed the normal Move value based on your race. This schtick is considered a Power even tough it lacks a Form. To take it, you have to have a Tradition, and if the Methods of your tradition or a Power Loss Limitation makes you lose your powers, your attribute is reduced to the normal maximum value until your powers return. Note that this is mainly a problem for Folk - other creatures do not have ability maximums.
