But, but . . . can't you just quickly make up a house rule on the fly that says your Dragonborn can use his / her power to fly up to x minutes per day, at a fixed movement, and then use a DEX check to see if they're up to it?
I mean, you can EASILY houserule that instance . . . can't you just as easily houserule the other 1,200 side cases all the other powers could invoke out of combat?
(This is totally tongue-in-cheek, by the way....as in, do not take seriously.)
The real point I think, though, is that the 5e designers with their "three pillars" of exploration, combat, and socialization have recognized that to reach the broadest possible audience, D&D must include a robust set of out-of-combat options . . . and that is a TERRIFIC thing.
