This table shows how many tiles in a straight line (not diagonal) a hero can move, depending on how much movement points it starts with and the cost of movement. For each amount, the movement is shown for basic move (without any movement skill), with Expert-level Logistics (which increases by the hero's movement points by {{swh|20%|30%|noicon=}}), or Expert-level Pathfinding (which reduces the movement cost down by 75 points down to a minimum of {{swh|85|100|noicon=}}).
 
* Pathfinding is useless on roads. Obviously, it will not find better paths than the roads.
Castle theme also includes Sandals of the Saint (+2 to all primary skills) in the Feet slot, and Celestial Necklace of Bliss (+3 to all primary skills) in the Neck slot. Dungeon theme also includes Quiet Eye of the Dragon (+1 to Attack and Defense) in a Ring slot, Dragonbone Greaves (+1 to Knowledge and Power) in the Feet slot, Dragon Wing Tabard (+2 to Knowledge and Power) in the Cape slot, Necklace of Dragonteeth (+3 to Knowledge and Power) in the Neck slot, and Still Eye of the Dragon (+1 Luck and +1 Morale) in a Ring slot.
* Logistics is {{swh|slightly|noicon=}} better on easy terrains{{swh||, slightly better on rough terrain,|noicon=}}, and especially good on roads.
 
* Pathfinding is{{swh| slightly better on rough and wasteland terrains, and|noicon=}} better on sand and swamp.
In {{ab}}, the Inferno theme set became plot-relevant as the components of [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]]. In {{sod}}, several of these sets became the basis for combination artifacts: [[Armor of the Damned]] for the Necropolis set, [[Angelic Alliance]] for the Castle set, [[Power of the Dragon Father]] for the Dungeon set, and [[Titan's Thunder]] for the Tower set. [[Unused content|Cut content]] shows additional combination artifacts were planned, one of which, the [[Ironfist of the Ogre]], was added in {{hota}} as made from the Stronghold set.

Castle theme also includes Sandals of the Saint (+2 to all primary skills) in the Feet slot, and Celestial Necklace of Bliss (+3 to all primary skills) in the Neck slot. Dungeon theme also includes Quiet Eye of the Dragon (+1 to Attack and Defense) in a Ring slot, Dragonbone Greaves (+1 to Knowledge and Power) in the Feet slot, Dragon Wing Tabard (+2 to Knowledge and Power) in the Cape slot, Necklace of Dragonteeth (+3 to Knowledge and Power) in the Neck slot, and Still Eye of the Dragon (+1 Luck and +1 Morale) in a Ring slot.

In Armageddon's Blade, the Inferno theme set became plot-relevant as the components of Armageddon's Blade. In The Shadow of Death, several of these sets became the basis for combination artifacts: Armor of the Damned for the Necropolis set, Angelic Alliance for the Castle set, Power of the Dragon Father for the Dungeon set, and Titan's Thunder for the Tower set. Cut content shows additional combination artifacts were planned, one of which, the Ironfist of the Ogre, was added in Horn of the Abyss as made from the Stronghold set.
