Running, walking and jumping

How fast you move, what slows you down, and what a jump costs.

You run by default. Hold Left Ctrl to walk. There is no sprint key: roads, Traveling Stance and a good horse are how you go faster.

  • Strafing and backing up are slower than running forward (80%).
  • A drawn weapon slows you slightly (5%). Sheathe it to travel.
  • Carrying too much slows you a lot. See Carrying capacity.
  • Jumping costs 20 stamina and can be repeated once a second. With too little stamina you cannot jump at all.

Traveling Stance

Traveling Stance is a power that makes you move faster. You must be standing still to take it up. It ends the moment you attack, cast, crouch, sit or take damage, so it is for crossing country, not for fights.
