This is a debate that pops up now and then. Do you think the movement rate listed for demi-humans in the MM should be used for PCs, or is that just a convenience for encounters with those races? Should 12" be the default for unarmored/unencumbered PCs, regardless of race?

For the sake of convenience, I can understand using 12" as the default for all PC's. But, based on what EGG stated in this thread it seems reasonable to have 12" base for humans and 9 " base for dwarves, gnomes and halflings. I consider the MM movement rates for the short folk to be based on their typical gear as encountered: leather armor and light gear for halflings (9"), metal mail armor and heavy gear for dwarves and gnomes (move rate 6").

I checked a few modules, and it seems like the demi PCs/NPCs are given the MM movement rates as their base.
