This is currently implemented in V as an emulated fixed-point floating
point.
You'd have to rescale it to one time tick rather than ten time ticks, but
it
should be possible to get a close approximation when conventing for both
hp and
mana recovery.
However, this misses the point of Prepare an Ambush -- in exchange for
making it
*very* inconvenient to "lie in wait", I want a reasonable chance of
getting a
double-move on the ambushee when the ambusher has the same practical
speed.
