Running

Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

It allows its wearer to run at a great speed.

Running is an ego found only on the lightning scales unrandart, which reduces your movement delay by 10% (rounded up). This stacks with other speed enhancers, such as Swiftness and haste, and has the advantage of requiring no maintenance to keep active. It was widely considered to be the best boots ego available, and still the best barding ego.

Note that the bonus is not a flat decrease of 0.1 to movement speed; it is rather a 10% decrease. This means that it reduces movement speed by 0.2 for nagas. This is not symmetrical with the ponderousness ego, which is a flat movement delay increase of 0.1.

Cheibriados disapproves of this ego; attempting to use this ego anyway as a Cheibriadite will quickly sap your piety.

History

• Prior to 0.27, this ego could be found on boots.
• Prior to 0.13, this ego reduced movement delay by two auts. 0.13 also added the option to match your movement speed to that of your slowest ally.
