Movement

Movement is measured in Combat Spaces. As a general guideline, 1 Combat Space equals approximately 2 meters (2 yards).

A typical human has a Move of 5 Combat Spaces. Characters with 3D or higher in Strength: Athletics or Stamina: Fortitude begin play with a Move of 6 Combat Spaces.

Terrain

Terrain and environmental conditions may affect movement.

Situation	Examples	Difficulty Modifier
Easy	Flat ground, calm water, ladder	None
Moderate	Uneven ground, small obstacles, tree climbing	+1 Difficulty Level
Rough	Rubble, strong current, rough wall	+2 Difficulty Levels
Very Rough	Dense obstacles, storm conditions	+3 Difficulty Levels
Hazardous	Minefield, narrow ledge, smooth wall	+4 Difficulty Levels
Extreme	Falling debris, hurricane, complete darkness	+5+ Difficulty Levels

Normal Movement

As part of a Basic Action, a character may move up to their full Move. As a Free Action, a character may move up to half their Move, rounded down.

Movement Tests

Running, swimming, and climbing are resolved using Strength: Athletics with the appropriate specialization.

A character may move farther than their normal Move by making a Movement Test.

Each additional multiple of the character’s Move increases the Test Difficulty by one Difficulty Level.

Distance	Difficulty
Up to Move	No Test
Up to 2× Move	Easy
Up to 3× Move	Standard
Up to 4× Move	Moderate
Up to 5× Move	Difficult
Up to 6× Move	Very Difficult

Running up to 2× Move is a Basic Action.  Moving farther than 2× Move is a Full Action. If the Test fails, the character moves only their normal Move.

Swimming

A character’s swimming Move is half their normal Move (rounded up).

Climbing

Characters with Strength: Athletics (Climbing) climb at their normal Move.

Characters without the specialization climb at half their normal Move.

Jumping

Jumping is resolved with a Strength: Athletics (Jumping) Test. A standing jump covers 1 Combat Space.

Every 2 Result Points increases the jump by 1 additional Combat Space, to a maximum of 6 additional Spaces.

A running start of at least half the character’s Move grants +1D to the Test.

The Game Master may modify the Test for unusual gravity or environmental conditions.

Holding Your Breath

Without preparation, a character may hold their breath for a number of seconds equal to 10 × their Stamina: Fortitude Die Code.

With proper preparation, a character may hold their breath for a number of minutes equal to 5 × the result of a Stamina: Fortitude Test.

Fatigue

A character may perform continuous strenuous activity for a number of Rounds equal to their Stamina: Fortitude Die Code.

After this limit is reached, they must make a Stamina: Fortitude Test each Round.

The Difficulty increases by one Difficulty Level each additional Round.

On a failure, the character becomes Fatigued and must immediately stop the strenuous activity.
