Re: (Unofficial) FAQ of the GURPS Fora
Q: When trying to calculate the speed of Hiking (long overland walking travel), my characters manage to cross huge distances in little time. Am I doing something wrong?
A: The Basic Set provides outright heroic estimates for hiking speeds of a character with given stats, making assumptions about perfect conditions, 16-hour walking days, and otherwise resolving any doubts in favour of the characters. You may want to switch to the hiking rules found on p. 55 of High-Tech, which are both more detailed and more down-to-earth.
