[QUOTE="Sigma, post: 149085, member: 3066"] I look at it this way. Expeditious Retreat is like having a pair of magic nikes that make you run fast, Fly is like being in a airplane. Your running speed in nikes has absolutely nothing to do with your speed in an airplane (unless it's some weird Flinstones airplane, which you move by running with your magic sneakers, but that's just too bizzarre to discuss). Of course, I can't say that I've seen anything official to support my interpretation. By the wording in the SRD, Expeditious Retreat is an enhancement bonus to movement. Fly states that the spell's subject can fly and that doing so requires as much concentration as walking. So, I suppose the question is whether or not having flight on you effectively changes your movement to Fly (90'). I would say no because fly says that you are [I]using[/I] the fly spell to move, which implies to me that it is outside of your normal movement. Just like when you ride a horse, you are using it to move, and an expeditious retreat cast on you wouldn't make the horse move faster. [/QUOTE]
