Has anyone tested the scale of Speed bonuses?

The Travel Domain increases a character's Speed, as do some Armor Feats (e.g.: Archer) and the Alchemical speed potions. Has anyone conducted races or time trials to figure out the scale of the various Speed boosts? Have the Goblins provided a scale in their public data set?

and does is affect how fast you move when encumbered?

I have the Scout Feat equipped and I have noticed that when I'm following behind someone, I some times have to slow down or I pass them.

I notice the same thing with Scholar.

Cool. That suggests it might be working.

I think I might try a stopwatch test, running from one side of a Settlement to the other, with Travel Domain on and off.

I also wonder whether speed bonuses are cumulative, or if this is one of those situations where only the "strongest" bonus is applied, like combat effects that share a channel.

Armor Feat Speed Bonuses are on the "Passive" Channel, while Domains are on the "Inherent" Channel, so they should stack.

I have Travel Domain loaded with nominal +7 speed. When running around with KarlBob Sspitefire, Alkaid et al. Sunday afternoon after Rotter's gathering. I did not notice I was overtaking. I did have some encumbrance, but did not fill the first bar.

Scholar and Scout Armor Feats list Speed bonuses as percents. Domains list them as simple numbers. I'm not sure if they're comparable.

That's interesting. I guess we need to know what the unencumbered base speed is in Speed Units before we can accurately compare the "+X units" bonuses to the "+X percent" bonuses.
