If memory serves, you need Speed of about 12 to hit 9 monsters at a time, and any more than that will only affect how much damage you do. Base Speed (unequipped) will never exceed 10.

thank's now my front three fighters can attack two times in one round!!!! yet another question. is there a better weapon for a rouge then the stealth blade and I keep missing it? and what is the best weapon that is short range and that dosn't slow you down and is not an Item of Specialness?
is there a long range weapon that is not just one use per round?
