        As I said in the previous post, I would treat a race as separate rolls against the distance (or difficulty). First, because it lets more than two people compete -- the one with the best level of success wins. Second, because it would give guys with appropriate abilities (movement magic, Race) a boost depending on how difficult the race is and what specific abilities they have.

        Other than that, I generally liked your post.
