Description
A character can sprint up to 4-5 metres/round (or 4-5 kph) multiplied by their Body Stat over short distances. A character with Superspeed can move much faster than this, as well as perceive the world at an increased pace. This Attribute is usually supernatural in nature (since it progresses well beyond realistic speed physics) and consequently is usually only appropriate for augmented or magical characters and not regular vehicle or mecha Items. For a more realistic form of movement for Items, see the Ground Speed Attribute (page 96). In most genres, a fast-moving character can still interact with the world. This means that the character will not run into buildings along city streets because they can perceive them early enough and make appropriate turns to avoid them. The character can also read books quickly, write at incredible speeds, and perform normal chores and activities at enhanced rates. Superspeed is a modular Attribute that does not provide the character with many other Attribute benefits typically associated with speedy characters, however. This allows for maximum player flexibility when designing their character concept. Many characters with Superspeed will also possess one or more Levels in the following Attributes: Change State (incorporeal to vibrate through solid objects), Combat Technique (Lightning Reflexes), Extra Actions, Heightened Awareness, Massive Damage (Superspeed attacks), Regeneration, Special Movement, and Weapon (tied to Superspeed through the Dependent Limiter).
