Movement rate
From NWNWiki
(Redirected from Movement speed)
Many factors, including class, encumbrance, magic items, and spell effects all influence movement in Neverwinter Nights.
No character may move slower than 10% of their movement speed (unless held or paralyzed) or faster than 150% of their movement speed. (Being hasted gives a 50% bonus to movement rate.) Movement speed bonuses are discussed under the descriptions for the barbarian and monk. Penalties are summarized below.
[edit] Movement speed penalties
- Detect and stealth modes: Being in detect or stealth will prevent your character from running. If your character is in both modes, movement speed is reduced to 50%.
- Encumbered: A lightly-encumbered character cannot run. Heavily-encumbered characters move at 50% of their current movement speed.
- Entangled: Entangled characters cannot run. Movement speed is reduced to 50%.
| Situation | Effective movement speed | Run? |
|---|---|---|
| not in active detect or stealth mode; not encumbered | 100% | yes |
| active detect | 100% | no |
| stealth | 100% | no |
| lightly-encumbered | 25% move penalty | no |
| two of: stealth, detect, or lightly-encumbered | 50% move penalty | no |
| stealth, detect, and lightly- encumbered | 75% move penalty | no |
| heavily-encumbered | an additional 50% move penalty | no |
[edit] Notes
- Elves have keen senses: they are always in detect mode and suffer no movement penalty.
- An elven PC's non-elven henchman may go into detect mode at the end of a cinematic/cut scene, and will remain in that mode until attacking an enemy or until the player instructs the henchman to cancel detect mode.
