Reducing movement speed
Reduced Base Movement Speed
Gnomes, Halflings, and Dwarves have reduced base movement speed at 7.5 m / 25 ft.
Subtracting from the Base Movement Speed
The following conditions reduce an afflicted creature's movement speed by 3 m / 10 ft:
Standing up from the 
condition spends an amount equal to half the afflicted creature's base movement speed (or 1.5 m / 5 ft with Athlete). In effect, this subtracts from the creature's movement speed on the turn that they stand up on.
Multiplying Movement Cost
Certain conditions increase the cost of movement, reducing the distance a creature can actually travel using its movement speed. For example, when its movement cost is doubled, a creature can only cover 4.5 m / 15 ft of ground, despite using its full 9 m / 30 ft of movement speed. This increased movement cost applies after any subtractions or additions.
This multiplication also applies to anything that costs movement, such as Jumping and standing up from .
The following conditions double an afflicted creature's movement cost:
