Skip Williams made up his own answer; he thinks the penalty for moving at full speed is also -5, the same as moving more than half but less than full speed. See The Rules of the Game: There, Not There (Part Two) (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040921a), and The Rules of the Game: All About Movement (Part Three) (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040622a).
