Walking Speed

Answering 'YES' to Quick Stepping disables this command.

Evaluating a person's normal walking speed relative to their height is likely an unfamiliar concept. The intent is to identify how quickly steps are being taken rather than the absolute speed at which a person traverses the ground. Comparing extremes in height helps illustrate the concept. Consider a small child, an average height mother, and a very tall father walking together at the same speed. If they are maintaining the mother's normal comfortable speed (and all are unimpaired), the child would be walking quite quickly relative to his height, and the father would be walking slowly relative to his height.

Apply that concept to your client. For her height, is her normal walking speed slow, average, or fast? Most people will fall in the average category.
