Converts a value in meters to feet. What this actually does, in line with the game's logic, is multiply by 10/3 and then round the result to an integer.
It would have been more accurate to use a factor of 3.28, or at least 3.3, whereas 10/3 equals 3.333... which seems like a strange value to choose. However, as seen from the examples below, this factor actually results in very nice round results for some of the most common distance values, which may be why it was chosen.
Here is some evidence that this is what the game seems to be doing:
- 1.5m (melee range) becomes 5ft
- 7.5m (shorty movement speed) becomes 25ft
- 9m (standard movement speed) becomes 30ft
- 10.5m (wood-elf movement speed) becomes 35ft
One could mistakenly assume that the game is rounding feet values to steps of 5, but the sabre-tooth wild shape (+3.5m movement speed) proves this not to be the case, as it leads to movement speed values that aren't multiples of 5 in feet:
- 11m (7.5m base + 3.5m sabre-tooth) becomes 36.666... rounded to 37ft
- 12.5m (9m base + 3.5m sabre-tooth) becomes 41.666... rounded to 42ft
- 14m (10.5m base + 3.5m sabre-tooth) becomes 46.666... rounded to 47ft
Note: Internally, the game probably doesn't round the value at all. Rather, the rounding only applies to the value displayed on screen. Otherwise, switching units would lead to actually different distances. E.g. switching to imperial would slightly increase the sabre-tooth wild shape movement speed due to rounding up.
Example:
The sabre-tooth wild shape increases your movement speed by 3.5 meters ({{m to ft | 3.5}} feet).
Result:
The sabre-tooth wild shape increases your movement speed by 3.5 meters (12 feet).
