Shattered Kingdoms

When your foot touches the ground the fly spell is somehow negated...

99% of the time when you are flying you are within a few feet of the ground. The only time we let you go higher is when you are in "the air" such as over a city or at the edge of the world.

Why does it work like that? You just have to suspend disbelief on this point. The enemy AI was not able to handle a more realistic flight system. It's getting closeer with the addition of throw, but it's still not there.

SO, it's not so much flying as much as hovering.

I wouldn't mind seeing the "You fly higher in the air." message mean something at some point in the future. Like, if you've flown higher in the air you can't attack or be attacked by people not in your same "air space." You'd get a message something along the lines of "You have to fly lower or land to reach that target." or "You have to fly higher to reach that target." That sort of thing.

Aerial combat skill!

Aerial Combat Cabal!!! No really, we have the Tree Huggers, The Jesters, The Calvary, The Tanks, The Casters, The Damage Dealers, We need Archers.

...What does that have to do with the topic of conversation here?

Not true!

I was with another GM merc specialized in kama today.

He had a kama that sliced.

I had a kama that did acid-bite.

He can blitz with his kama, but I cannot with mine.

Yes I have it trained.

Same sub-type, different damage type.

It does depend on damtype, as any merc worth his salt knows.

Touché teacher, touché...
