When you move, you can traverse a distance up to your speed. For example, if you have a speed of 30 feet, you can travel up to 30 feet when you move.

As a protag, you start with a walk speed of 30 feet. Your species, class, or other features might increase or decrease your speed from this baseline.

Splitting your Move

During your turn, you can split up your move distance before and after any action or bonus action. For example with a speed of 30 feet, you could walk 20 feet, take an action, then walk 10 more feet.

Slow and Fast

Sometimes terrain or other effects will cause you to be Slow or Fast.

Slowed. While you are Slowed or "Slow", you move at half your normal speed. To traverse 5 feet while Slowed, you must spend 10 feet of your speed. If multiple effects cause you to be Slowed, you still move at half speed, not less. Often you'll be Slowed while moving through difficult terrain.

Fast. When you're Fast, you move at double speed. To traverse 10 feet you only expend 5 feet of your speed. If multiple effects cause you to be Fast, you still move at double speed, not more. If you’re both Fast and Slow, you move at normal speed. The two conditions negate each other.

Often only some of your turn’s move will be Fast or Slow.

Moving Around Other Creatures

During your move, you can pass through the space of an ally, an Incapacitated creature, a Tiny creature, or any creature that is two sizes larger or smaller than you.

You are Slowed while moving through another creature’s space, unless that creature is Tiny or your ally. You can’t purposefully end your move in a space occupied by another creature.

Dropping Prone

As part of your move, you can drop Prone. While you remain Prone, you are also Slowed.

To recover from being Prone, you can either expend half your turn's speed to stand up, or use your Help action to help yourself up.

Swimming and Climbing

You can climb or swim as part of your move, but while doing so you are Slowed.

While climbing or swimming under difficult circumstances, your narrator might call for a Grit save to make progress for the turn. On a failed save, your speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn.

Climber. Some creatures have a "climber" trait listed in their stat block. Such creatures aren't Slowed by climbing.

Swim Speed. Some creatures have a swim speed. If such a creature starts its movement in water, it can use this speed instead of its walk speed, and this speed isn’t Slowed.

Flying

If you have a fly speed, you can use this instead of your walk speed to fly through the air. You can stay aloft until you land or fall.

It costs speed to ascend or descend. Your ascent is Slow, and your descent is Fast.

While you are airborne due only to your fly speed, you begin Falling if you become Incapacitated, are knocked Prone, or have your speed reduced to 0.

If an effect changes your "speed," it also changes your fly speed if you have one.

Gliding. Some effects grant you a glide speed. A glide speed functions as a fly speed, but you can't use the speed to ascend, and you still descend 5 feet at the end of each of your turns.

Labored Flight. Some effects grant you limited flight, best representing a creature whose arms are also its wings: "As an action, you gain a fly speed of 50 feet until the start of your next turn. If you start a turn while airborne without a fly speed, you must immediately use this action or Fall."

Low Flight. Some effects grant you a feature like the following: "You have a fly speed of 30 feet, but it doesn't function more than 10 feet above ground."

Teleportation

A spell or other magic effect might enable you to teleport. When you teleport, you instantly disappear from your current location and reappear at your destination instantly. Nothing between the starting and ending points can block or impede your ability to teleport.

If a creature or object blocks the destination, you instead teleport to the nearest open space.

Teleporting doesn't depend on your speed, and doesn't use up your move unless a feature says otherwise. Teleporting doesn't trigger any reaction that is normally triggered by movement.

Mounted Movement

While you ride a willing mount, you can use its speed in place of your own, including its fly speed or teleportation abilities if it has them. See mounts for details.
