Characters covering long distances cross-country use overland movement. Overland movement is measured in miles per hour or miles per day.
A day represents 8 hours of actual travel time. For rowed watercraft, a day represents 10 hours of rowing.
For a sailing ship, it represents 24 hours.

- Walk: A character can walk 8 hours in a day of travel without a problem. Walking for longer than that can wear him or her out (see section Forced March).
- Hustle: A character can hustle for 1 hour without a problem. Hustling for a second hour in between sleep cycles deals 1 point of nonlethal damage, and each additional hour deals twice the damage taken during the previous hour of hustling.
A character who takes any nonlethal damage from hustling becomes fatigued.
A fatigued character can’t run or charge and takes a penalty of -2 to Strength and Dexterity. Eliminating the nonlethal damage also eliminates the fatigue.
- Run: A character can’t run for an extended period of time.
Attempts to run and rest in cycles effectively work out to a hustle.
