Race movement speeds


Rules Questions


I've looked through the book. ( Just bought it 2 days ago) Where are the movement speeds listed for each race? I don't see them on the listings for the race or in the movement section.


30 feet, except dwarves, they still get shafted by Tolkienism (I.e. unnecessarily slow).


So all races now move 30ft? The 20 ft small, 30 ft medium thing didn't carry over from pathfinder?

No, it did not. All races have 30 foot movement unless specified otherwise by racial traits (as Dwarves have).


It doesn't seem like any of the races listed in the starfinder book had a movement speed listed so I'm guessing they all move 30 then.

The core races? That's correct.

There are also all the legacy races from Pathfinder on p. 506-511, which prove this by Dwarves having a listed racial trait making their speed 20 feet.


Thank you very much. now I'm not so dang confused on the movement thing. Hopefully Saturday at the society game a lot more of this will become more clear.

See page 41 of Core Rulebook, last paragraph under "Vital Statistics" for default racial characteristics including base land speed of 30 feet. Any race whose base land speed isn't 30 feet has their base land speed given in their racial featurs.
