			A weapon's '''minimum speed''' is the lowest roundtime at which a weapon can be swung under normal circumstances. The minimum speed is derived from the weapon's base speed, and always falls between 3 and 5 seconds.

			{\| {{Prettytable}}
			\|-
			! Base Speed !! Minimum Speed
			\|-
			\| 1 second \|\| 3 seconds
			\|-
			\| 2 or 3 seconds \|\| 4 seconds
			\|-
			\| 4 seconds or more \|\| 5 seconds
			\|}

			===Aimed strikes===
			Aiming an attack with the [[AMBUSH (verb)\|{{boldmono\|AMBUSH}} verb]] increases the minimum roundtime of the attack by 1 in addition to the 3 second increase in roundtime.

			===How can the minimum be greater than the base?===
			The interplay between minimum speed and base speed can at first seem contradictory for very fast weapons, such as the dagger with its base speed of 1. Despite a base speed of 1, a character would swing their dagger in 3 seconds. However, because the base speed is 2 seconds faster than the minimum speed, factors that increase roundtime are diminished.

			For example, if a character with no [[Armor Use\|armor training]] were to wear a [[Armor\|leather breastplate]], their roundtime would increase by 3 seconds. This is added to the dagger's base of 1, for a 4 second swing. If the dagger's base speed and minimum speed were both 3, the attack would have taken 6 seconds, not 4.

			===Going below the minimum===
			While a character's training and statistics cannot decrease an attack below its normal minimum, there are a few ways to attack faster. The [[QSTRIKE (verb)\|quickstrike ability]] and [[Quickstrike (combat maneuver)\|combat maneuver]] provide a flat decrease to roundtime at a cost to the user's stamina. A [[warrior]]'s [[Weapon Bonding\|bonded weapon]] can decrease roundtime as an occasional "flare".

			==List of Base Weapon Speeds==
		⚫	Below is a list of the base speed for each weapon. Weapons in the game may have different names, but the [[INSPECT]] verb will show the weapon's base name, and the page for each weapon base should list the alternate names of that weapon.
