Flying |
---|
Can't be attacked in melee by non-flying creatures.
Isn't affected by terrain.
Fast travels much faster.
flying is an effect given to all airborne creatures and objects.
Creatures that are flying cannot be targeted by melee attacks from non-flying creatures. However, when flying, creatures gain a Swoop ability that allows them to attack non-flying creatures.
Flying is only possible on surface zones. Creatures cannot fly underground. Some subterranean creatures, such as bats may have descriptions that indicate they have wings or can fly, however, they do not actually have the flying effect from a mechanical perspective, and they can be targeted normally by melee attacks.
Swooping
Whenever a creature is flying, that creature also gains access to a Swoop ability.[1] Swoop will attempt to attack an adjacent non-flying creature, with the attack functioning similarly to a melee attack. When using Swoop, a flying creature will have a small chance of falling clumsily to the ground.
