Halfling Movement Question


Rules Questions


Hi, I just got back from PFS tonight and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer/had noticed this before. Currently I'm playing a Halfling Inquisitor of Desna with the Travel Domian and I just hit lvl 2. Got Fleet of Foot as an alternate trait so he's moving at 40 ft. Pretty good for a small character particularly a ranged character. I was flipping through some of the martial classes to give him some more combat abilities when I noticed something. My question is if I end up dipping into Barbarian and get fast movement would that give me 50 ft at LVL 2????? That can't be right/ stacked that way it...can it?


They do indeed stack.

The travel domain is a straight increase, an untyped bonus.
The barbarian bonus is a straight bonus as well, untyped, and even called out as "stack[ing] with any other bonuses to the barbarian’s land speed"


Yes, thats entirely valid. Then grab boots of striding and springing and add another 10, or longstrider... watch your halfling teleport (not quite) across the battlefield with impunity.


Travel Domain gives you Longstrider as a Domain spell, so you should be able to move at 50ft from level 1. (Though armor will slow you down.)


Sweet! thanks for the answers everyone! I might to take a level in Barbarian and focus a bit more on melee. Seems fitting for a Halfling Inquisitor of Desna to run in as quickly as possible and start smashing things while waiting for everyone else to join him.

@Matthew that might be possible if I rolled a cleric, inquisitors only get the domain/sub-domain abilities but not spells...I could pick up a wand of it tho!


You might consider bloodrager as well, if one of the 1st level bloodline powers appeals.

They can indeed be stacked like this. It is notable that speed reductions from encumberance and armor increase as your speed increases. There's a table in the Additional Rules section of the CRB called "Armor and Encumberance for other base speeds" which covers this.

So with your 50ft move speed character with a medium load has only 35ft of movement, still quick for a halfling, but more substancial than a 20ft base speed creature with a medium load.
