i just have to ask this

[cokolwiek]

how can a little dwarf with short legs and heavy armor run faster
then a tall half elf?


i don't complain or something like that i just want to know a logical reason

[Jeeposnl]

The reason is from ancient times. The dwarfs were always lazy and drinking beer, sometimes smoking pot with some Goats, but then our great leader, RubenJacobs changed the dwarfs in fast running little people with a curse named: Wild Spirit. :angel1:

from RPG point of view

[torpon]

Because they have nothing between their legs (?).

You practically gave the answer yourself - dwarves are short. The nerve impulses have less distance to travel from their brains to their legs than they do in elves.

Also, dwarves are traditionally miners. They are used to wearing heavy protective equipment, carrying lots of mining gear, plus bags full of gold, iron, or whatever it is they're mining. When they light the fuse, they have to get elsewhere quickly. This helps develop fast-twitch muscle fibers (http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/anatomyandphysiology/a/MuscleFiberType.htm). Plus, when they're above ground with only some armor and a weapon, they feel light as a feather.

Elves on the other hand are usually in a group (or a tree ;)) - they don't have to run faster than a mob, they only have to run faster than the slowest guy in their group.

Finally, you've seen how dwarves look when they run? Dwarves never use the bathroom before a battle, this ensures that when they finally decide to run, they really want to get where they're going FAST!

Hope this helps!

omg gytha hahahaha xD "they only have to run faster then the slowest guy in their group" haha! plus 1

it's all Aerodynamics dwarves = smaller surface area and rounder curves, where as Wood elves are sleek they still need to push through the air and being so slight and light weight (seriously Annorexia kills) a slight breeze can knock them off course.

P.S. Have you ever tried to catch a Dwarf IRL those buggers are FAST

[Kyrottimus]

Because Dwarves are coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs.

[-ltl-]

Dwarfs are imba. they can hide in snow...

Who said dwarfs are faster? Moloks are the fastest, but it is an illusion. We never run away, we run towards you. So the relative velocity makes us look faster. And once we reach you, we kill you. So you never realize that we are just as fast as you :p

Well, sure, but then what? Ten seconds later - from anywhere at all in the Three Realms - I'm back at my own save. Now that's fast! :D

[Mrreality13]

i dont know why they seem to run faster but for my own amusement sometimes i stay dead to watch the lil buggers run round in forts and castles it always makes me laugh ,kinda like watchin a Dachshund, dog try to play fetch :D;)

you ever see a 2 year old run to their mothers with their arms open? it's kinda like that.

This is your mistake and i'll go explaining you why:
1) playing the dully elf side, you did not notice that your
player really dont run in a straight line seeking enemies, your char instead
ALWAY run heading his nearest "spot of love" (trees) dwarves instead run
normally... so you are slower by race,

2) Half elf have half brain... so you are slowed by thoughts that may seem
strange on your head like "doooh!", "hooow a wonderful tree!", "wow , a real
bush of maroon :D"

We paint stripes on the side of our dwarves so that they go faster

And the archers from other realms poke holes in them with arrows.

Salesman: These are speed holes. They make the dwarf go faster.
Homer: Oh, yeah. Speed holes!

Its all about aerodynamics and what not:biggrin:
