Flying?

[Ogrork the Mighty]

I remember a rule somewhere that a creature can't fly with natural wings if it's HP drop below 50%, but it might have been 2E.

Does anyone know if there are any 3.5E rules that limit flying? I think there's a rule that flying creatures can't have more than light encumbrance but I'm not sure where I read that.

I definitely remeber the rule. So it's probably from 3.0.

Well, it's part of the description of 'movement' in the 'Special Abilities' list:

A creature with a fly speed can move through the air at the indicated speed if carrying no more than a light load. (Note that medium armor does not necessarily constitute a medium load.

Hmm... not sure about the hit points, although it's possible from an older ruleset. There is a rule in 3.5 that says a creature with Average manueverability or worse falls if they move less than half their flight speed. See Moving in Three Dimensions

It was.

i can definitely vouch that it was a 2e rule. haven't personally seen it in 3.X, but this edition's hit points seem more ablative, which is something i personally like.
