Each "movement" is separate and indicated as specified
SPD is not general
And "sonic speed" is your run speed period.
A winged mutant with sonic flight flies 700 mph
But runs 3d6
RUE pg. 284 "Speed (Spd). Indicates the rate of speed at which a character can run and/or fly.
Note that the singular attribute covers two things?
One number?
You can't change it based on only half the result.
So again...
Sonic Speed + Wingless Flight = Black Swan
When there is a difference they are indicated.
There are characters that can fly as fast as they run and is specified
If a mode of movement is not part of the equation it is not listed and stated what type of travel is used
If they have multiple modes of trave with different speeds they are each noted.
If a natural climb ability is listed it is specifically noted
And if a boost is in play like leylines they are noted.
Yes.
But those are your movement rates.
They are not your Spd Attribute.
You keep confusing the two.
They are not the same thing.
You can not simply replace the one with the other.
This is why there is one attribute, and many derived characteristics.
For a bipedal being: spd = run
It doesn't give you fly
It is NOT your swim speed
It is not your climb speed
It is not your slither speed
It is not your attack speed
Unless stated otherwise your SPD is your run speed.
If you have other abilities each are noted accordingly
Unfortunatly the Rules Book disagrees with you on this.
When there is a conflict between a player and the published rules I tend to take the rule book.
And page 284 of RUE is pretty explicit.
So, once again.
Sonic Speed + Wingless Flight = Black Swan (shall we make a Rifts meta with this name?)
