Redefining Speed?

[Harry Dresden]

More like being able to hit a surface like water, which is not exactly famous for providing enough friction to speed up, at a high enough rate of speed, with enough force per footfall, that even if you slow down you're still not going to fall in. At least, that's how I saw it.

EDIT: Also, SPD is sort of the endurance running stat too, as your stats at base are what you're normally capable of; someone with 5 attack can crack steel plating casually, while someone with 3 could still do it if they had a huge charge time, or did a super move. Similarly, a person with 5 SPD can use super speed or burst movement over water, but both of those have drawbacks.
