This page translates some of the D&D measurements into metric units for easier real-life comparisons.

Map Scale

The standard map we use has a scale of 23.3 mm = 1 square = 5 ft = 1.5 meters.

This gives a scale of approximately 1:65

Movement

Translation of the Movement Table of the SRD into metric measurements:

One Round (tactical) 15 feet 20 feet 30 feet 40 feet 60 feet
Walk 5 m 6.7 m 10 m 13.3 m 20 m
Hustle 10 m 13.3 m 20 m 26.7 m 40 m
Run(x3) 15 m 20 m 30 m 40 m 60 m
Run(x4) 20 m 26.7 m 40 m 53.3 m 80 m
One Minute (local) 15 feet 20 feet 30 feet 40 feet 60 feet
Walk 50 m 67 m 100 m 133 m 200 m
Hustle 100 m 133 m 200 m 267 m 400 m
Run(x3) 150 m 200 m 300 m 400 m 600 m
Run(x4) 200 m 267 m 400 m 533 m 800 m
One Hour (overland) 15 feet 20 feet 30 feet 40 feet 60 feet
Walk 2.4 km 3.2 km 4.8 km 6.4 km 9.6 km
Hustle 4.8 km 6.4 km 9.6 km 12.8 km 19.2 km
Run(x3) 7.2 km 9.6 km 14.4 km 19.2 km 28.8 km
Run(x4) 9.6 km 12.8 km 19.2 km 25.6 km 38.4 km
One Day (overland) 15 feet 20 feet 30 feet 40 feet 60 feet

Hustle 38.4 km 51.2 km 76.8 km 102.4 km 152.8 km
Run(x3) 57.4 km 76.8 km 115.2 km 153.6 km 229.2 km
Run(x4) 76.8 km 102.4 km 153.6 km 204.8 km 305.6 km

Not many temperature measurements are given in the SRD, but here are a few translations.
