====== Speed ======
Speed determines how fast the player may move. \\
The value of speed may range between nearly 0 (”very slow”) to higher than <del>5</del> 0.67 (”lightning fast”). \\
Base speed is determined from the [[:characters:DEX]] and modified downward proportionally by the amount of weight \\
carried which exceeds the Max Carry limit. \\
The [[:items:armour:]] worn also sets the upper limit on speed.

==== Speed in Words ====
Function //describe_monster()// in //server/common/item.c// says :
<code c>
    /* Note that the resolution this provides for players really isn't
     * very good.  Any player with a speed greater than .67 will
     * fall into the 'lightning fast movement' category. */
    if (FABS(op->speed) > MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED) {
        switch ((int)((FABS(op->speed))*15)) {
</code>
Meaning that the speed value is multiplied with 15 and the first integer is case'd :
  * 0 : very slow movement
  * 1 : slow movement
  * 2 : normal movement
  * 3 - 4 : fast movement
  * 5 - 6 : very fast movement
  * 7 - 10 : extremely fast movement
  * > 10 : lightning fast movement
