Running a foot race


Homebrew and House Rules


Hi folks,

Over on the pfsrd, I found a great page of community rules on conducting a foot race, some of which I incorporated into my own house rules. There's a chance I may post my house rules in the future, and though I'd expect this homebrew stuff doesn't demand citations the way academic and professional works would, I still want to be thorough and give credit. The problem is I didn't save the page address and haven't been able to find it again.

Therefore, I was wondering if someone has seen the rules on pfsrd before and could point me to the right page.

Again, it was from community generated rules. The key mechanic I incorporated from it was that if the participants didn't all share the same base speed, then those with base speeds higher than the slowest base speed got a +4 bonus on their upcoming die roll for every 5' their base speed exceeded the lowest base speed.


Is this it?


The way we do it is to divide a creature's Speed by 5. Thus a Human's speed, being 30', would be +6. Let's say he's trying to catch a horse, who's speed is 40'. This would result in an 8. We then just add this number to a d20 roll, ie 1d20+6 vs 1d20+8 and do opposed rolls. It works out to be much, much faster than the Pathfinder method.
