Fleet feat and multiple movement type

[Christian Ræbild]

Hi,

In the Core Rulebook, the feats table says Fleet gives +10 ft to base move, while the text description says it is +10 ft to land speed. That is a pretty important distinction if a creature has more than one natural movement type.

Does Fleet only increase land speed, or does it increase all natural movement types ?

The specific case is a Kiirinta character I am creating. A Kiirinta has a land speed of 20 and Exceptional natural flight at 20 (average maneuverability). Would Fleet increase both, or only the land speed ?

I would of course want my Kiirinta to be able to keep up with the rest of the party, and preferably while flying.

Only land speed sadly.

I was afraid that might be the case, but I could not find any official ruling, and the Core Rulebook does say two different things.

The full feat description is always going to be the more accurate rule than the limited summary in the table.

Sadly, the fleet feat only gives you fleet feet.

For a non-SFS gaming group you could certainly request a homebrew feat based on it that increases your fly speed instead. That seems like a very obvious and balanced homebrew feat.

But it does seem a bit too powerful to increase both/all speeds with just the one feat.

You could get a Viridian Bulbis for a 10 foot enhancement to all your speeds

Works just fine for flight speeds that are based on your land speed like mechanic though.

Another point has come up, in the PC character statistics listed in Alien Archive 4 it says the flight speed of a Kiirinta is 30 feet, while the description from the scenario lists it as 20 feet. Which of the two listings is correct ?

The alien archives are the more recent source and the most correct usually.

However, if the scenario NPC was wearing heavy armor... I thought there would be something in the CRB, but does heavy armor speed adjustments affect all speeds?
