	~~=== Space Speed ===~~

	With a space speed, you actually accelerate rather than moving. Keep track of a vector (line sticking out of your position, with some distance and direction) for your current momentum, and when you would move with your space speed you instead move the end point of that line that distance. Then, at the end of your turn, you move to wherever that line was pointing, and the line moves with you.

	You can use more than one of your speeds to move during a single action, but if you do so, use only the shortest one of the speeds used for all parts of the travel combined.

	Chandeliers and other hanging objects can be used as jumping spots, so long as you maintain your momentum by jumping from them during the same action you use to jump to them.

	Some terrain is difficult to maneuver on, such as loose boulders, slippery ice, or tightropes. Unless you move at half speed over it, you must make a DC 9 [[Agility]] check or fall [[prone]].

	Climbing at half your non-run land speed is DC 8 for surfaces with consistent footholds, or DC 12 without. Climbing at full speed increases the DC by 3. Climbing while running increases the DC by 3.

	A climbing check lasts for 1 round, plus 1 for every point by which you beat the DC. After this time, you must take a one-round break from climbing, and make a new [[Agility]] check if you'd like to resume climbing. If you switch to a more difficult climb, you must make a new check. If you cannot fail a climb check, you can maintain that rate of climb indefinitely without breaks.		A climbing check lasts for 1 round, plus 1 for every point by which you beat the DC.

	Ropes can be used to swing from one location to another, by following an arc with a radius equal to the length of the rope. It's hard to swing to locations higher than you started from; you can only increase in altitude to a maximum of half your jump distance.
