[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6616963"] Flying, like any other movement feature, is only as overpowered as the DM is unwilling to deal with it. When my players fly, they get attacked by flying things or ranged characters. When my players move around the battlefield too quickly, they run into dangerous terrain. Etc.... There are other even easier ways to restrict flying: tight canopy, cramped spaces, indoor environments, storms. Flying excels in wide-open flat to lightly mountainous terrain. Everywhere else flying will almost never see any use. Flying is very overpowered if the DM is unwilling to make adjustments to a campaign that isn't designed to deal with it, or isn't interested in mixing things up in order to challenge flying. This is where most of the "complaints" about flying come from: the DM has created a lot of challenges for walking, non-acrobatic, average-speed characters and anything outside of that, especially as grossly outside of it as flying is not a source of creative rethinking on the part of the DM, but an afford to their game design sensibilities.
