Was curious what people think about this situation: A character is midair, no walls, floor or ceiling anywhere near him. He casts Levitate on himself.
I feel the text on Levitate is very confusing.
Does the trait you cannot move unless you can grip onto a surface also apply when you cast it on self?
Does the Levitate effect just allow you to move up and down with your normal movement (e.g. you have 30ft of normal speed you can move 15 feet down and then 15 feet up again?) or do you gain an additional movement of 20 feet up and down? And if it's the latter, can you combine up and down movement or can it only be down or only up per turn?
The spell text says you can do this as part of your movement, what about when you cannot move because you don't have a surface to grip?
In other words, in the current situation, can the person:
a) Not move at all.
b) Move up to 20 feet either up or down?
c) Move up to 20 feet up and down in combination (e.g. 10 feet down, attack, then 10 feet up)?
d) Move up to 30 feet up and down in combination (and it counts as movement)?
Hope you guys can give me some opinions on this.
