running speed

Post by Geth'tee »

I was thinking that there should be different running speeds based on age, size, and their physical training. Maybe this could be incorperated with strength and a few other attributes besides running, maybe even jump height. because even though some can't force jump yet the jump height is unrealistic for some. before being taught to run, jump, fight with the force physical training takes place, so with the physical training it's likely that most would have jump almost double what they have now, and running speed is more like fast walking.

[though i might be a little off, grammar check, >_< ]

The running speed's fine, and height DOES affect it already. We know <_< it's hard to keep up with adults sometimes.
Personally I think there's nothing wrong with it as it is.

Larkit could do with a bit stronger legs... But I think it's fine as it is, as Nivek already said.

Whatsoever, a bit of personalization in terms of physical traits, is an addition I wouldn't work towards. But it can mostly be done with a wee bit of role playing. So I see no reason to implement this feature, as of yet.

This reminds me of the land speed of characters from D&D. Only with great size differences, or being weighed down by lots of armor, or intense physical conditioning could you have significant differences in land speed.

I would like to point out there is a character sheet out on the internet for Star Wars that has this and other ideas incorporated into it, you might be interested in it. If you want I can share it since I have it.
