Enhancement to Speed Workaround

[Kendall-DM]

I have figured out how to get the enhancement bonus to speed working correctly. This is a workaround until LW gets a fix into place. It requires two different scripts. I've done it in 10 ft. increments, easy to modify.

<<Pre-Levels (Users) 5000>>
~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

var enh as number
enh = 10 * field[pAdjust].value
#enhancementbonus[hero.child[Speed], enh]
hero.child[Speed].field[tSpeed].value += enh

<<Final Phase (Users) 10001>>
~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

~ Fix our speed to the actual enhancement values (HL workaround).
hero.child[Speed].field[tSpeedMod].value -= hero.child[Speed].field[BonEnhance].value

What's the problem this is intended to fix?

The enhancement bonus to speed is being added to the modified speed rather than the base speed of the hero. I have a bug report in that thread about this.

In other words, the enhancement bonus is being added to the hero after the armor and encumbrance is determined, so a +30 ft. to movement adds +30 ft. flat. Enhancement bonuses should add to speed before the determination of armor and encumbrance, and it isn't.

So a human with a 30 ft. movement and wearing platemail is normally moving 20 ft.

With expeditious retreat (+30 ft. enhancement) he is moving 50 ft.

According to the SRD, this should, in fact be, 40 ft. (base 30, +30 enhancement, then modified from 60 to 40 for the armor).
