How fast a hero is.Is used to determine action order. When 2 characters are trying to be faster, the NPVs and Heros use opposed rolls. Which side is first to get 3 successes they either catch up or get away.At the super-heroic rank the hero may use speed as a defense against physical attacks., at demi-god rank they can use speed as a defense against magical attacks.
Feeble(they can move 5 feet each combat round), Average(10 feet.), Superior(15 feet) Heroic(20 feet,), Super-Heroric(May use speed instead of AGILITY for dodging physical attacks, 25 feet.), Demi-god(30 feet, may dodge magical attacks, may move 30 feet and do 1 STRENGTH attack at 1 rank higher than your current STRENGTH, Demi-god rank is tghe highest rank STRENGTH can achieve. May move when successful with defense). When target is in base to base contact and breaks away, the one left may take a free attack if their speed rank is equal or greater at half damage.
