Movement and Footing

Ground characteristics may drastically limit a character’s ability to move in a fight. The movement reductions listed below apply to the character’s base movement, so a character with a normal move of 12 spaces would be reduced to a move of four spaces in heavy brush. If a character passes through multiple ground types in one round, he uses the worst of the modifiers.

	Condition	Reduce Move by
	Heavy brush or thicket	2/3
	Light brush or forest	1/3
	Ice or slippery footing	1/3
	Steep slope or rough ground	1/2
	Knee-deep snow, water, or soft sand	1/3
	Waist-deep snow or water	1/2
	Shoulder-deep snow or water	2/3
