How fast a character moves is determined by a combination of quickness (QN) | How fast a character moves is determined by a combination of quickness (QN) and movement speed (MS). | ||
* Quickness determines how fast a character is overall. It affects '''''all actions''''', including moving, attacking, using items, and just about anything else a character can do. For that reason, if you have a choice between increasing your quickness or your movement speed, it is generally preferable to increase your quickness. | * Quickness determines how fast a character is overall.

Improving your movement speed can allow your character to move multiple spaces in a single turn (or, more commonly, to move one extra space during the course of a few turns), helping you to outrun enemies, escape dangerous situations, or keep your distance as you fight an enemy with a ranged weapon. | ||

These things directly modify a character's movement speed, changing the action cost of a single movement, and thus the number of movements the character may take per turn. | |||

== Additional Types of Movement == | |||
Beyond your movement speed attribute, there are many additional ways to change the speed at which you move, or cause you to move around without directly modifying your movement speed. | |||
Some common examples include: | |||
* Sprinting | |||
* Swimming | |||
* Flying | |||
* Teleporting | |||
* Slipping on liquids | |||
* Standing on conveyers | |||
* Using skills like Charge, Lunge, or Juke | |||
* Using items like the Flume-Flyer of the Sky Bear | |||
