My character is a Zabrak TKM/MP/Fencer with no Terrain Negotiation bonuses from any learned skill I possess.

Iknow the benefit of SEA's max at 25, but what confuses me is there seems to be no noticible difference in speed when using, say, +10 to Terrain Negotiation (TN). I timed a known distance and came up with virtually the same time every test when using a +9 Vibroaxe and a +1 SEA in an article of clothingI was wearing adding to +10. In the skills window this lists as: +0/+10 TN.

I've heard that unless you have the basecommand or abilityto modify you get no bonus from SEA's, but TN isn't really a command or ability. You don't learn Novice Scout and get it awarded to you unless it's something behind the scenes going on with the game I don't know about.

Regardless, I'd like to know if you'd need the full +25 effect to notice a TN improvement, or if it's just bugged and doesn't help you unless your character has a skill like Scout, Combat Medic, or Ranger that provides learned skill mods to TN.

I tried searching for this in the forum search, but much of the information is outdated, or off topic.

Thanks for any help.

West,

Terrain Negotation doesn't apply to open ground - just hilly ground. It increases your ability to move up slopes. It also maxes out at +50 - anything above +50 gets added to your crawl speed.

I am not sure if the TN SEA's are working, but I know there is a post somewhere that has a list of all of the working and not working SEA's out there. I can't remember where I saw it however.

Great, thanks for the info, Delta. That clears up some confusion. I'll do some more tests on hilly terrain now and report what I find.

so does the height of the character increase the flat level speed then?! becuase all my guild mates always seem to run faster than me and i'm the only one that had Master scout.........but they are taller than me......
