Speed increasing feats

Unread post by spyvsspy »

Does anyone know how many speed increasing feat can stack with speed increasing buffs such as Haste? I ever did a little rough test but can not make sure.


In my memory speed increasing feats are:

Monk's speed (obviously stack)
Sarced Fist's speed (should be same as monk)
Barbarian's fast movement
NWN9's Frantc Reactions
Dash
Grey Orc's Long Gait
Woodland Stride
________________________________
Did I miss something? Seems they can stack with each other but not all of them stack with Haste. At least Frantc Reactions and Dash, I didn't see a hasted character did any difference when having or not having these feats.

For example, I opened a normal human, run. Then haste and run. And leveled him up, selected Dash feat, then run, haste run. It seems the hasted speed were the same whether he has Dash or not.

Speed caps at +50. Taking full monk levels or casting the haste spell will put you on the cap.

Thanks for reply. But I don't want to know which build is the fastest. What I want to know is, while all characters are under Haste or similar speed +50% effect, will the Dash truely help you to run faster or not? The same question to Barbarian Fast Movement, Frantc Reactions, and other feats. As for Monk speed I'm pretty sure it does help. A hasted monk runs faster than a hasted fighter obviously. But for the other feats I'm not sure.

I think haste gives either +50 speed or close to it (+45 maybe?). If haste gives +50, that means a hasted fighter and a monk run exactly as fast -- this is what my testing has suggested. As long as you hit the cap of +50, you will be moving as fast as possible regardless of build.

In my test a hasted monk runs obviously faster than a hasted fighter. And a hasted 9lv monk runs faster than a hasted 3lv monk. In higher level the condition has some difference. But a hasted lv30 monk runs much faster than any of the above it is for sure. Barbarian Fast Movement should be the same since it is a extraordinary ability in PnP. But I'm not sure how it works in nwn2. Also, to the other feats, no idea.

How does Storm Avatar work then with the +200% normal move speed?
