Celerity-Assisted Movement: Quick Reference

Basic movement rates are given in the rules as: Walking: 7 yards per turn, Jogging/Slow Running: 12+Dexterity yards per turn, Running: 12+(3xDexterity) yards per turn. (Vampire: the Masquerade: 3rd Edition, p. 200)

That seems relatively simple - until you consider that a turn is defined as anything from 3 seconds to 3 minutes. Suddenly, the basic consideration of how fast your character is moving becomes infinitely more complicated.

For my own purposes as an ST, I have compiled this chart in which a movement turn is defined as 5 seconds. This follows well with a basic experiment regarding walking speed: get out and set a good walking pace, then count to yourself as you walk. You should find that a single pace takes just less than a second and that an average pace is between two and three feet. Hence, my basic walking speed of 4 feet per second.

The rest should be fairly self-explanatory.

The bottom line? No Vampire of any generation can outrun a bullet, and cars are still the fastest way to get from here to there on the long haul. :)
