Modifying Base Speed


Rules Questions


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

When something modifies Base speed does that effect all of the creatures movement types? Most things specify base LAND speed, but there are a couple that just say speed or base speed.

Ie: Does a dwarves "slow and steady" ability have any effect if the dwarf has a climb, swim or fly speed?

What about the cleric's Travel domain?

which says:
Granted Powers: You are an explorer and find enlightenment in the simple joy of travel, be it by foot or conveyance or magic. Increase your base speed by 10 feet.

That seems to imply that your base speed can be natural or by spell/item (ie magic).

SO if I have a Dwarven travel domain cleric who is flying in heavy armor....what's his speed? (I now have a flying dwarf in my game so this is coming into play)

40ft (slow and steady does not apply to fly, neither does travel domain)
50ft (slow and steady does not apply to fly, but travel domain does)
70ft (slow and steady applies, and so does travel domain.)

Something else?
