Move Through

["Kris Ames" <kris@cioe.com>]

How about this for the move and attack thing

Going on the fact that if you are within 5 feet you are effectively
within melee range and that a someone in plate moves 20 feet a
round.  It is safe to assume that you can move the equivalent of 1/4
movement rate and still use skills and attack as normal (yes I know
right now that someone in a loincloth can still only move 5 feet and
attack and they move 60, but lets take the extreme)

Based on this someone flying at 120 could move a total of 30' in a
round and still attack and use skills as normal.  I.E. they move in
15 feet attack and them move away 15 feet.

We could then say that if you wanted to move say up to half of their
movement rate they could only then use Because of the nature of  the
attack, only the weapon subskills "lethal" and "precise" (i.e. no
multi attacks) or one other skill (horse back riding).
