Jet

Epic Path \ Types of Movement \ Jet

Jet is a form of swimming that requires a full-round action and can only move in straight lines. However, movement performed with a jet move speed does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Jet is often a very high speed of movement. Creatures with Jet cannot use their Swim skill to perform Acrobatics maneuvers in the water the way that creatures with lesser or greater swim can, unless they also have lesser or greater swim speeds.

• Prone: Creatures with a jet speed cannot be made Prone, but any time they are subject to the Prone condition, they are instead Slowed for one move action, after which it automatically clears (even if they don't move).

• Difficult Terrain: Creatures with a jet speed are not normally subject to ground-based difficult terrain, but they are subject to hazards like strong currents and vortexes which constitute difficult terrain in water.

• Permitted Movement: Creatures with a jet speed can perform charges, run and withdraw, but cannot make 5-foot steps.

• Overland Travel: Outside of combat, creatures with jet can travel overland at four times the pace of a walking creature with the same speed.
