Talk:Feet of the Blackbird (3.5e Feat)

That's Special All Right
Interesting limitation. So with your 60 foot speed example, given a Con score of 16, you become exhausted after running for 7 rounds, at which point you both can't run anymore and are pretty much boned for 9 hours, unless you're immune to exhaustion somehow or have access to status-removing magic. Is there a reason for that limitation? I am curious. Spanambula (talk) 06:17, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Not to mention that running more than their Con score over the course of a day is something that a normal person can very easily do even when they can't run at supersonic speeds. --Undead_Knave (talk) 06:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Are you sure UK? Remember a run is just that, a full out break neck run.  Long distance running is usually a "hustle" aka two move actions. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 06:23, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Three points: 1) There's a difference between a run and a sprint. In D&D terms, a run would probably be something like alternating run actions with double moves or something, as opposed to just straight run actions.  2) It specifies over the course of a day.  That means they can take as long as they need to to rest between bursts of action, which means they can run a bit, take a break, run some more, etc.  3) Anyone who would running this much would be someone trained for running which means they would be better suited for running.  That would probably just go to being something like having a high Con and/or Endurance or whatever, but it does bear mentioning.  --Undead_Knave (talk) 07:30, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I do acknowledge that point one is a differentiation that doesn't matter because game mechanic terms versus actual meanings, though, so it doesn't really matter. --Undead_Knave (talk) 07:31, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, actually what you discribed, the thing measured in days, IS a hustle. It averages out to double moves, though it may be a slow walk and the occational full out burst.  What was the point of contention? -- Eiji-kun (talk) 07:40, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
