And barbarians (or any large race) looks to you like you are moving slow,
but if you look from any other F9 positions they aren't (compared to
others). Go from a barbarian to a small race like a halfling, they look
like they are ALWAYS with accelerando because they are closer to the ground.
Just like in a car, if you look directly out the window at the ground it
goes by much faster than if you look farther out.
