#1 mitchellsd20 Jul 12, 2012 10:38:59	Ok I feel like a newb asking this question but never have encountered this before, I am currently playing 3.5 D&D and to create my character I have been using nzcomputers heroforge, great program.  However this is my problem,  I want to create a dragonborn cleric of bahumut,  once I had plugged in all the numbers to the program and it generated my charactersheet it said that I had a 0 for my speedx4.  What does this mean?  is that even possible?  does that mean I cant move or what?  Any help would be appreciated and I figured this would be the best place to seek guidence.

You could then possibly take the slow flaw -5ft giving you a move speed of 5ft.  Thats about as low as I can get off the top of my head. Can you post your exact character build, items, and such. Everything you can think of about it. Its probably possible to do.

Unless your character has a ridiculously low strength score, there's no way that just carrying their armor and weapons would overload them to the point of immobility.  Even when using an officially-licensed character generator for a game, never treat it as a rules source - the books trump the program at all times.  Any time you use a character creation program, always go back and check the math yourself... It's notoriously difficult to find a chargen program for any rpg that won't screw up the math occasionally - the programs are written by programmers who may or may not actually play the games in question let alone have complete mastery of the rules.  Almost all of the Medium-sized humanoid player character races in 3.5 have a speed of 30 ft. The most common thing that reduces speed is wearing heavy armor - which reduces your speed regardless of whether or not you have the carrying capacity to wear it without being encumbered.

And yes it was listing my speed as this.  (base land speed 0/x4)  I have dmed many a campaign and never have seen this madness.  I do appreciate the help thanks man, any other advice would be appreciated, I check this forum once a day because there is always usefull information in here. Sorry lied about str score it is actually a 16.
