Running Question

Can one of you guy with SRI tell me what the running mulitple for humans is.
The twits at FASA put x3 in the Combat Section, x4 in the Critter Section, and
didn't notice it for the Errata.

BTW, Wired People run faster than unwired for one reason: They get to walk
their quickness on the actions they can't run on.

Therefore given two people with quickness 5, if one gets 1 action and the other
gets 3, the 3 action guy "runs" 10 meters farther in a turn.

Yet another query I submitted to the Dark Lord on High and neglected to
include in the compilation of the Q&A session.

I directed him to the aforementioned inconsistency of information to him. He
stated that the x3 multipliers in the Combat Section, appearing alongside the
new rules regarding running, were the correct value--someone had apparently
forgotten about the values printed in the Critter Section, and such they were
not updated.
