+====== Mob Speeds ======
+==== Description ====
+Mob speeds determine how quickly various enemies move and act in comparison to the player character.
+==== Standard Speed ====
+  * **Normal Speed** - Most mobs and the player move at 1× speed
+  * **Turn-Based Movement** - Each move action takes the same amount of game time
+==== Fast Mobs ====
+  * **[[en:rpd:shadow_mob|Shadow]]** - Moves at 2× normal speed (confirmed in code: `speed() = 2`)
+  * **[[en:rpd:rat_mob|Rat]]** - Standard movement speed, but aggressive behavior makes them seem faster
+  * **[[en:rpd:gnoll_mob|Gnoll]]** - Standard movement speed, but fast attack patterns
+==== Slow Mobs ====
+  * **[[en:rpd:golem_mob|Golem]]** - Standard movement speed, but slower attack delay (1.5s vs default ~1s)
+  * [[en:rpd:dm300_mob|DM-300]] - Standard movement speed, deliberately slow but powerful
+==== Speed Mechanics ====
+  * **Action Economy** - Faster mobs get more actions in a given time period
+  * **Escape Difficulty** - Fast mobs are harder to kite or escape from
+  * **Combat Pacing** - Changes the rhythm of combat encounters
+  * **Tactical Considerations** - Affects which enemies to prioritize
+==== Strategy ====
+  * **Kiting** - Only effective against mobs slower than you
+  * **Positioning** - Critical against fast enemies to avoid being surrounded
+  * **Resource Management** - Fast enemies require more resources to defeat
+  * **Retreat Planning** - Consider escape routes when fighting fast enemies
+  * **Speed Items** - Using speed-enhancing items can help against fast mobs
+==== Effects on Speed ====
+  * **[[en:rpd:slow_buff|Slow]]** - Reduces movement and action speed
+  * **[[en:rpd:chill_buff|Chill]]** - Reduces speed (less severe than slow)
+  * **[[en:rpd:elemental_mob|Elemental Mobs]]** - Some elementals may have speed-affecting abilities
+  * **Buffs and Debuffs** - Various status effects can modify speed
