In this case, a yard is defined as the distance between opposite corners of a sub-tile [1], into which the world surface is normally invisibly divided, like a chess board: a yard measures 32 pixels horizontally and 16 pixels vertically due to the game's isometric graphics. Enlargement of a single sub-tile. Consequently, the dimensions of the visible screen are as follows: Resolution Visible Area Pixels Yards 640 x 480 640 x 432 20 x 27.0 800 x 600 800 x 552 25 x 34.5 Relationship between movement speed yards and radius at 800 x 600 resolution. Player Player base walk and run speeds are as follows: Class Yards per second Walk Run Minimum Amazon 6 9 1.5 Assassin 6 9 1.5 Barbarian 6 9 1.5 Druid 6 9 1.5 Necromancer 6 9 1.5 Paladin 6 9 1.5 Sorceress 6 9 1.5 [2] [3] State Yards per second Walk Run Minimum Delirium Undead Rat Man 6 6 1.50 Trang-Oul's Avatar Banished 9 9 2.25 Werewolf 6 9 1.50 Werebear 6 9 1.50 Player walk and run speeds are calculated as follows: Player walk speed = max(Base walk * (100 + Speed) / 100 , Base walk / 4) Player run speed = max(Base run + ( (Base walk * Speed) / 100) , Base walk / 4) [4] [5] Speed is the sum of all movement speed modifiers, both positive and negative: Source Player speed modifier Maximum Faster Run/Walk [ (150 * FR/W) / (150 + FR/W) ] [6] +149 Burst of Speed min(15 + [55 * [ (110*slvl) / (slvl+6) ] / 100] , 70) +70 Frenzy min(20 + [180 * [ (110*slvl) / (slvl+6) ] / 100] , 200) +200 Increased Speed min(7 + [43 * [ (110*slvl) / (slvl+6) ] / 100] , 50) +50 Feral Rage min(10 + [60 * [ (110 * ( [slvl/2] + 3) ) / ( ( [slvl/2] + 3) + 6) ] / 100] , 70) +70 Vigor min(7 + [43 * [ (110*slvl) / (slvl+6) ] / 100] , 50) +50 Delirium +33 +33 Body armor speed penalty 0/-5/-10 -10 Shield speed penalty 0/-5/-10 -10 Cold length -50 -50 Holy Freeze min(-25 + [-35 * [ (110*slvl) /(slvl+6) ] / 100] , -60) -50 Decrepify -50 -50 Slows Target 10-50 -50 Maximum limit is not normally reached (diminishing returns formula for skills reaches its ceiling at level 60). Both cold length and maximum Holy Freeze modifier are determined by player chill effectiveness (-50), and Slows Target has a -50 ceiling when applied to players. Faster Run/Walk does not apply to Charge speed. While +100% movement speed doubles walk speed, it only does the same for run speed when base walk and run speeds are equal. Normally, base walk speed is 6 and base run speed is 9 yards per second, so +100% movement speed only increases run speed by 2/3 and +150% movement speed is required to double run speed, while -75% movement speed reduces walk speed to the floor and -125% does likewise for run speed. In either case, each percentage difference is 0.06 yards per second.
