Things id like to see tested- Rogues hiding as a bonus action Drinking a potion as an action (while walking) Flanking (does it make sense?)

[@BobWorldBuilder]

When we revisit movement speed (on normal terrain) we're going to try making attacks or doing other tasks while walking!

[@backonlazer791]

Why would they need to be walking while drinking? Half of the turn is spent walking and the other half drinking the potion. Some actions can be tied with movement (free object interaction) such as opening an unlocked door, or perhaps uncorking the potion so the action can be spent on drinking it.

[@Inuxxus]

Of course flanking makes sense. By moving around your target, you increase the directions they have to defend from; thus increasing the chances of you/your allies landing a blow.

[@Griff1011]

If you need evidence of flanking making sense, look no further than the Battle of Agincourt.

[@malta7406]

Have you ever been flanked before? That one's absolutely gonna work

[@KNDNumbuh343]

Yes. A WALKING speed.

[@birubu]

Also walking while dodging attacks and making attacks/casting spells. 6 seconds is 1 *round*, not 1 turn.

[@unstableshade373]

@@birububut one turn is the same time as one round, it’s just all happens during the same 6 seconds

[@Valiant_Requiem]

That's what they're saying. They're saying that one round, not just one turn, is 6 seconds, meaning that everything else that happens during that round is happening concurrently. At the top of Round: when your human fighter walks up and hits the orc warchief twice (on his turn,) the orc warchief walks up and hits the human fighter back (on _his_ turn.) That's happening at the same time as the wizard (on her turn) launching a fireball at the hobgoblin archers who are simultaneously dodging that fireball and also firing their arrows (on their turns) at the rogue who came out of stealth, shot the kobold who is holding the door open for enemy reinforcements, and then failed their cunning action stealth check (all on their turn which is all happening within _one Round.)_ So for the simulation in this video, the characters aren't just walking, they're attacking, dodging, casting spells, doing object interactions, making saving throws, and all of the other little things that can pile up in a single _round_ of combat.

[@jtorres210jt]

I mean I consider it valid, if you wanna really emphasize running, there’s always the dash action guys

[@jonathancollins8951]

​@@unstableshade373They're not, though. A turn consists of all of the rounds of the combat. A turn and a round are the same length of time, but they are not the same thing

6 seconds is a serious amount of time in real life combat... especially melee

[@Sun_Dayzzz]

Drinking a potion in 6 seconds is impressive For range characters it works For melee combat it's way too long

@@frogger2011ify 6 seconds might as well be a lifetime.

[@LaSangriaSolitaria]

@@Sun_Dayzzz you say that, but remember that during these 6 secons *everyone* is acting at the same time. So you have to take in consideration that yes, you are getting 4 attacks in 6 seconds, which seems slow, but you are also dodging fireballs, protecting your friend with your shield, blocking an arrow, getting stabbed, relying information, walking around the battlefield, and shoving a creature to the ground with your shield.

[@dylanknight1237]

Running = dash action = twice that speed.

[@The13thMaker]

Dashing would be a full on sprint though.

[@oscarsalazar5876]

I mean irl you would be dashing as a normal movement to have enough time to use your action withing those 6 seconds.

[@The13thMaker]

Honestly the fact that dash is an action proves that tests like these miss the point

[@Rodrik18]

​@@The13thMakeryes and no.. there's definitely room for more granularity, but full out sprinting for 6s is different than charging to the attack. Any martial SHOULD be able to do a running strike that is sorta like the charger feat

[@panpolypuff]

For D&D it should be "1 Edgy Backstory... 2 Edgy Backstory... 3 Edgy Backstory..."

[@tacoblocko]

I mean, in the middle of combat, I'd assume it'd be something more akin to a jog, than a speed walk. And then a dash would be sprinting.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

Assuming this is a fighter type we're talking about here it would very much depend as you don't want to open yourself up to attack as you get close. Rushing a mage as fast as possible is less dangerous than rushing a warrior with a weapon that can simply hold ready to stab as you get in range, and the warrior is likely heavier and stronger than the mage making bullrushing them ill advised. Contrary to Hollywood's belief, rushing around in heavy armor and charging headlong into melee is kinda stupid and wastes energy.

[@frogger2011ify]

I doubt it ....running to position an ambush sure or rushed marches anyway...but definitely dont tey running with armour and melee weapons ur gonna pull something or gass out

[@lunararmy1624]

​@@Sp4rt4nSl4ya contrary to belief armor isnt all that heavy, it weighs about the same as the gear the average soldier carries in modern combat and its still maneuverable enough to rush through an obstacle course so bullrushing would not be too ill advised if your trying to end someone before they turn your fancy metal armor into a microwave

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

@@lunararmy1624 while I've never worn old plate armor I'm aware of the weight similarity. I am however intimately familiar with modern body armor and how it feels to move in it for prolonged periods. If one were to be sprinting around in 6 second bursts for say, 10 rounds of combat they'd get winded pretty fast if they're attacking in melee on top of the sprinting. Now let's say the standard move speed with no dash is between walking and jogging pace that'd be reasonable and easily doable without excess energy expenditure, or opening yourself up to attack which is actually the main reason not to sprint in melee combat. Swinging a sword while trying to keep a shield up in active defense of incoming strikes can tire someone out fast, (I've done it in just padded clothes) so you really don't want to be spending extra energy and oxygen sprinting unless it's a last ditch effort to finish the fight or some other emergency like you said, a mage turning your armor into an oven.

[@jonathancollins8951]

​@@Sp4rt4nSl4yaNo joke, and an apt comparison

[@BertieSoapbox]

The whole turn is 6 seconds, so you need to run there, then perform an action, then a bonus action, that's your turn.

[@SaintThomius]

Exactly, and move actions are considered less incumbursome then standard actions’

[@Ironcorgi2]

Especially in active combat you aren’t strolling leisurely into someone you are dashing and darting around them

[@peregrinecovington4138]

You don't have a bonus action every turn, bonus actions are only for if you specifically have a ability that can be used as a bonus action

[@runakovacs4759]

@@peregrinecovington4138Intimidate/Taunt is a once/2 round action. Disarm is also a once/round action. So each round (a turn is 10 rounds), my PC will attempt to disarm her opponent, insult/intimidate them every second round and then make 5 attacks. D&D 3.5E

[@ttadecoded1033]

​@@peregrinecovington4138 You do have a bonus action each turn, unless something actively takes it away, same as you have a movement action each turn, even if you don't use it. The best way to measure the timing on this would be to assume the character is doing an offhand attack with a weapon as a bonus action, to see if it fits the time. Move 30 feet, swing with main weapon, swing with offhand weapon

[@samanthahicks7725]

The way you walked with the stick is how i will forever imagine how my character walks in battle now

[@Elemental-Phoenix]

Her power walk of doom was actually rather terrifying

[@aaronm.706]

Imagining a bunch of angry people in combat walking at that speed is hilarious “I WILL KILL U” *while walking towards them menacingly*

[@xXRehcaXx]

Reminds me of the Dio and Jotaro walking meme.

[@Pironious]

As someone who's been doing full combat battle games for a decade, its more likely than you think. Running is tiring and if you're not moving to exploit a gap/opening, unnecessary. The heroic image of charging at one another is fiction, and its unlikely the momentum of running at someone who's watching you it going to be able to do much when they can easily brace for it.

[@alphanum001]

How do you escape the combat area? Just nope out and walk away?

[@nekomancer4641]

Lmao shes walking like a Disney villain about to lay hands

[@indecisivesloth]

Rules as written, I made a build which allows a PC to move at 82 mph so I think dnd speed needs rethinking

[@aarons.8161]

I've always thought the Movement Speed as more of the characters running around rather then simply walking. With the Dash Action being turning it into a full on sprint. Like in a video game where your character is pretty much always running by default, until you toggle/hold the Walk button or tilt the joystick halfway, but who really does that, especially in the middle of combat? lol

[@runakovacs4759]

I mean, in 3.5E, you have your speed actually broken down properly. Including how armour and encumberence affects you. ... Did they take this out of 5E as well to simplify it for the masses?

[@lucajustluca8257]

Yeah sure it looks silly, but if you do any sparring youd know how messy 6 seconds get

[@user-kr3bb4xo1t]

Your turn isn’t 6 seconds a round is 6 seconds

[@shoulung]

A turn is 6 seconds. You can action, bonus action, and move. You probably only have 2-3 seconds to move. 30 feet in 2 seconds means you're sprinting. Dashing uses an action, so you then have 4-5 seconds to sprint (thus doubling the distance) A rogue's cunning action means 1. They can multitask. 2. They are faster than everyone but the monk.

[@weebjeez]

I'd argue that the name has the clue: Cunning Action. They're just better at doing stuff like disengaging, dashing, or otherwise, because it's... kinda their whole profession? Rogue is sorta designed to be the "criminal pickpocket" kinda role. So their kit is based around not calling attention to themselves while doing something. Think of them all as escape options (because they kinda are). Dash, Disengage and Hide are all things that a pickpocket better be good at, if they intend to be a pickpocket for very long. Otherwise? they're gonna get in trouble, very quickly.

[@AlX-Ander]

"That's it, I'm gettin me mallet."

[@sandmansleeps657]

Except a round is 6 seconds in which everyone has the same 6 second turn, which means you're also dodging, strafing blocking, or being struck by attacks. As well as assessing battle situations, making tactical decisions, and communicating with each other. Of course it seems dumb if you reduce an entire turn to "how fast can someone move down a police drunk drive line test".

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

As with Warhammer tabletop gaming, i have to tell people it's not literal it's representative. Otherwise when you move 30 feet to attack someone and then they disengage and move 30 feet away It still doesn't exactly work if you assume all the stuff happens at the same time unless you just kind of generalize it and say this is approximately what happened.

[@TheRawrnstuff]

@@kamikeserpentail3778 It's also a speed at which a character can move half of it, stop, and return to the spot they started at in 6 seconds. If you fully book it at your maximum speed for 3 seconds, there's no chance you can both stop _and_ return to where you left with the remaining 3. A chase scene should not be limited to the characters' speed stat - at most, a character's speed should apply on top of the speed the surroundings are whizzing by at, and a character who stops (f.ex. by tripping) should fall off the "screen".

Try it wearing 30+ lbs of gear, over uneven terrain, toward someone trying to hit you with a stick as you get close. A battle is not a hike. It's also meant to be sort of happening all at the same time, not six seconds at a time. Each round is six seconds, and there's more going on than just strolling across a nice flat field.

[@saber5694]

Your right she is moving way to slow. In battle you would jog up to the target. Remember you arnt really stopping movement at the end of each turn. Initiative represents how fast you get moving if your first it mean you are likely able to act without impairment. Everyone after you has to react to what your doing and what Everyone before them is doing

[@SpectralKnight]

​@saber5694 actually your movement speed is your characters running speed while dashing is well sprinting as fast as you can

You’d have a point if they tried that out in steep/difficult terrain but the flat ground is still valid

[@mineofitsown]

So, you got there and combat isn’t just one bonk. It’s a very dynamic interaction. If you ever watch HEMA or something like that, you’d see most of the times someone gets hit within a few seconds and they aren’t necessarily devastating hits. So I imagine the combat more like you run in and engage with a rally of strikes and parries and if you “hit” you make contact and the damage dictates where the hit was or how severe the hit was and then “misses” are them standing just out of your range. Like when boxers “reset” their distance before engaging again. All of which happens in a 6 second round.

[@DadJokeExpert]

You’re not walking slowly, you’re giving whatever pissed you off six seconds to regret their choices

[@andrewsmithers4800]

An entire round takes place over the course of six seconds though, doesn’t it? And if everything happens in succession with maybe a little overlap between actions, wouldn’t that mean the amount of time it takes to move is 6 divided by the number of turns in the initiative order?

[@kreativzocker8657]

It technically happens all at the same time

[@johnnye87]

Everyone is acting "at once", the turn-taking is a game abstraction that represents some characters having fractions-of-a-second-faster reflexes than others. A whole round = 6 seconds, a character's turn = what THEY DO in those 6 seconds. It starts to fall apart if you think about it for longer than, well, 6 seconds, but that's the idea anyway...

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

Things don't happen successively, they happen all at once.

[@patrickbuckley7259]

No it's divided by 6 seconds, as all turns occur over 6 seconds. However any movement is likely taking place over the first 3ish seconds unless you take the dash action. So your character is running up to an opponent and hitting him over 6 seconds.

[@DrusinianX]

​@@patrickbuckley7259you're forgetting bonus actions and reactions so id say you're doing 30ft in about 2 seconds, reactions are fast so .5 seconds, bonus actions id say 1.5 seconds and finally, attacking and blocking collectively take 2 seconds. Mostly because swinging something doesn't really take more than a second, Unless your target is trying to not get hit and also hit you.

[@gipsymelody1268]

Also I am sure the turns merge with each others! So many moves happen in same time intervals even if you not see it at once but speratly! Like if you move to the enemy and hit him while in the next turn he go somewhere else to hit someone else then it is probably happen in same time and I actually disturb his attack but eventually he could attack my ally…

[@ShadowmancerLord]

Yeah, the thing is that moving includes at least one attack, casting a spell, staying out of range of enemies, dodging arrows and enemy attacks, etc. Don't forget that turns only happen sequentially for gameplay reasons. What's actually happening is that all the characters are moving and attacking in the same 6 second timeframe, so if an enemy attacks you 3x before your turn, that happens at the same time that your turn happens. So part of your turn involves blocking or dodging their attacks that miss, then responding in kind

[@hariauazikari6200]

[@weredrgn]

Lots of factors left aside in this test. First, those 30 ft is walking speed, you can use dash to cover 60 ft in that same turn, or quadruple if you spend your full round in only running (and hoping no one hit you with an AoO). Second, this beside walking, should include a standard action (that could be multiple attacks or recite a spell), and in some cases, partial actions like prepare a weapon (some things depends on what version you are using). Third, feel free to add heavy armor and a backpack full of equipment and do the same (extra points if you carry 10 swords, 4 spears, 2 bows, a crossbow, 5 axes, a mace, 100 arrows, and 20 potions, like some players pretend to do with their characters).

[@gregslingland3576]

Please remember that in combat characters are hustling. That is to say, moving at double a walking speed. This is why you get a move and an action. It’s also why if you dedicate your action to movement (the dash action) you get to move a total of double your speed rating.

They don't only walk. They brace themselves for attacks, they wind up and do attacks, they cast spells. The way I've found most intuitive to track things is 2.5 seconds for movement 2.5 for an action (dashing is just taking that time to run as well) 1 for a bonus action though 3,2,1 also works

[@zamba136]

This looks like a solid example of combat movement. Either running or power walking. Out of combat movement speed is half that.

so imagine someone that had like 15 squares of movement as their speed + action + BA. you gotta remember that combat is a life or death situation and everyone's flight or fight response is kicking in along with it being a fantasy setting.

[@alfonsovallejo2665]

You have to take in mind: -You take a battle stance to be prepared to attack at any moment and you are constantly checking for ranged attacks or other important surroundings (otherwise, you would be surprised). -You can literally take the dash action to move twice as fast, technically dropping any intention to attack and focusing more in running.

To be fair, you usually aren't moving in a straight line confidently. You are checking sectors, stepping out of the way of obstacles, maneuvering around friendly or enemy spaces, and waiting for a good moment to strike.

Honestly, Slow is Safe and Safe is Fast came to mind. That's why trained firefighters or paramedics rarely sprint when called. If they fall, drop their equipment or hurt themselves, they are in a whole lot more trouble.

It's good to see movement speed is accurate. 😊

Now add 70 lbs of armor, weapons, other gear, and the chaos of 2-6 other people all trying to kill enemies, plus the roar of thunderous explosions, vicious teeth and claws tearing into trusted friends, and then we are talking.

You gotta keep in mind, D&D is often set in a setting where many of the habitants are usually in much better shape than many people today, and they probably even do closer to a jog in movement, as well as doing a running hit when attacking. After all, whatever makes it more realistic, it's probably how it played out (unless magic is being put into the equation).

The bonus action, attack action, and the movement action all happens in 6 seconds

[@seventhgnome5375]

in d&d you can load and fire a crossbow 4 times in 6 seconds as a fighter, and you can push that number up easily.
