### Distance and Measurement
**Ranges**: Are measured in yards, instead of feet, which means they are tripled.
- Ranges are measured in yards, rather than feet (so **3x**).
- Areas of spell effects, blasts, etc. are still measured in feet.
- Movement rates:
- For creatures - measured in feet.
- For vessels - measured in yards.
**Movement rates**: Are still measured in feet.
### Chases
**Areas**: Of spell effects, breath weapons, etc. are also still measured in feet.
#### Evading
### Evasion and Pursuit
Evasion chance is determined by difference between the movement rates of the two sides’, listed in the table below.
#### Evasion
- **Success**: Pursuers lose track of fleeing side, can't catch up until next day (and only as a random encounter).
The chance of evasion is determined by the difference between the two sides’ movement rates, listed in the table below.
**Success**: If the evasion roll succeeds, the pursuers cannot attempt to catch up with the fleeing side until the next day, and then only if a random encounter roll indicates an encounter.
**Failure**: If the evasion roll fails, a pursuit occurs.
- **Failure**: Continue to **Pursuit**.
#### Pursuit
**Time**: Is measured in rounds.
**Initial distance**: The two sides begin a pursuit at normal encounter distance.
**Closing in**: The distance between the two sides decreases by the difference between their two movement rates each round (a minimum of 30’ per round).
- Time passes in rounds.
- Pursuit begins at normal encounter distance.
- Pursuing side closes in on fleeing side
- Distance between sides decreases by the difference between their movement rates (minimum 30' per round).
#### Astralborne Evasion
**By ship** - Use the same table, but replace feet with yards in the measurements speed.
- Vessel use the same table, replacing feet with yards in the measurements speed.
