When I started playing **Dungeoneer** back in 2014, I _correctly_ assumed that you were meant to add your Movement attribute to Movement Threat checks.
I made this assumption because you added your other 2 attributes (Melee and Magic) to checks related to them.
This blog post exists exclusively to reinforce the correctness of that assumption.
I know this seems like a non-story, but I keep doubting myself on the rule.
Every time I sit down to play a **Dungeoneer** campaign, which is about twice a year, I fool myself into thinking that the Movement bonus is too good.
What other attributes do you get a full +2 at level 1?
Well actually it does happen, but nevertheless I always have my doubts.
Then I go and look at the rules, and I can't find anything confirming or refuting it, and so I just keep playing, sometimes adding it and sometimes not adding it.
## Proof of ruling
I was playing [Vault of the Fiends](https://mixedsignals.ml/games/blog/game_review-dungeoneer-vault-of-the-fiends) recently and I came across the **Dimensional Shift** card.
It is a Trap card with a Movement Threat requiring 7+ on a d6.
It is not possible to roll a 7 on a 6-sided die.
The only way to beat this Trap card is to roll a d6 and add a modifier, and as usual the modifier is indicated by standard iconography for Movement.
## Solution
Let there be no further doubt.
You do indeed add your Movement attribute to Movement Threats in **Dungeoneer**
