movespeed...?


Rules Questions


I could use some move speed clarity I can't seem to find in the core rulebook. All I'm seeing are assumptions and generalizations. What is the base movespeed for each race in Starfinder?

The only entry on movement speeds I can find is that it depends on your race, but usually a medium sized creature has a movement speed of 30ft. I don't see anything listed for small races at all.

I would assume small races move at 20ft and medium races move at 30ft unless otherwise noted, but I can't even find that ruling in the core rulebook. Do small races now move at 30ft?

The only race that I can find a clear movement speed for is dwarves.

Scarab Sages

Medium and Small races are both 30'. The only race in the rulebook that has a 20' movement rate are dwarves.

Thank you.

As a follow up is there anywhere in the book that specifically clarifies this (page number(s) would be excellent!)?

Page 17:
"Your character’s land speed at the beginning of play is 30 feet, unless she has an ability that modifies it (or penalties from armor or encumbrance). See Chapter 8 for more information on speed and movement."

Wow! looked at that page multiple times and just missed it apparently.


I believe the space goblin from First Contact has a base speed of 35
