Ok, for a 5 foot square space on a your usual grid the area contained in each is 5 square feet. That means that the length of the sides of this square have to be √5 feet long (2.2360679775... feet).

The movement speeds list your movement in square feet rather than just regular feet. A normal human can move up to 30 square feet in a single movement action. If they are walking in a continuous path of 5 foot squares without any diagonals, (those come into play later) then they travel at most 6*2.2306=13.4164... feet

Twice that on a double move for about 26.8328 feet. Four times that on an unencumbered, unarmored run for 53.6656.

These are all in a period of a single round which is 6 seconds.

Converting these three from feet/6 seconds to miles per hour gives
1.5246 mph single move
3.0492 mph double move
6.0984 mph run
These are for Bob McAverage.

The wizard Pythagaryl determines through years of study and intimate knowledge of sacred geometry that the superior way to move is diagonally. By walking the diagonal of a 5 foot square, they cover a distance of √10 per square (3.1623 feet per second).

Doing the same calculations before and presuming a normal rate of human movement
18.9737 ft/6 second single move, 2.1561 mph
37.9473 ft/6 second double move, 4.3132 mph
75.8947 ft/6 second run , 8.6244 mph

Pythagoryl moves √2 times faster moving diagonally compared to Bob McAverage speeds.

So clearly serpents, crustaceans, and other manner of sideways scurrying critters have been styling on bipeds for millennia. Why don't people move that way?

Alright, so a quick rules question here. If you are able to animate dead or create undead, could it be used to bring back an undead character that was killed?

Basically an important intelligent undead agent of our boss got killed and we need to get him moving again or we are in hot water, but I digress. I am asking about these options because according to the spell description for raise dead, resurrect, and similar is that undead can't be targets of the spell.

Raise dead: "A creature who has been turned into an undead creature or killed by a death effect can't be raised by this spell. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can't be raised."

Resurrection:"You can resurrect someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. You cannot resurrect someone who has died of old age. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can't be resurrected"

True Resurrection: "You can revive someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. This spell can also resurrect elementals or outsiders, but it can't resurrect constructs or undead creatures."

If there's any option I've overlooked here, do tell.
Thanks in advance.

Is it even considered a crime in the civilized parts of Golarion? Is it not even prohibited but simply looked down upon by others?
Is it a given in any country that allows Slavery?

Reasons: As part of an evil group of PCs (Antipaladin who joined up with a coven of witches) currently nested in Cheliax, the group was coming up with plans to blackmail a Chelaxian noble. It's rather complex, but the gist of it is that they want to slip the man a philter of love without him knowing and have the first thing he sees be the PC who is magically disguised as one of the young Mwangi slaves. Then the other PCs come in after a day or two to reveal that they know of the affair and extort the noble accordingly.

My problem with the plan was two fold: One, no one cares what he does with his slaves because at worst they are just material components for some of the more powerful spells. Two, because of that element of pale-skinned supremacy in Cheliax, the noble could probably get away with it even if the PC disguised as a Chelaxian child.

So then we changed the plan slightly, and one of the witches was disguised as a cat instead.
