Well all these questions are not yet answert. The idea we had when we created 
the rules system was to make it as versatile as possible, so we could add ideas 
later. So if we decide that improved speed is a good thing (I would say so) we 
can just create an item like Boots ofd speed to increase the character's 
movement. For fast movement over the map we should have teleporters (Diablo), a 
bird (Zelda) a cannon (Secret of mana) or any other means of transportation.
