Unfortunately, it also bypasses a lot of interesting encounters, and probably does so a little too early in the campaign. (Please bear in mind that I'm a pro-3e kind of guy, but I do see some flaws in the system. I do think the easy access to fly in 3e is a weakness, although not a massive one.)I think that's the crux of it. Fly allows the PCs to skip some encounters, but it doesn't allow them to simply bypass the DM's entire plot - if there's something they need from a specific encounter, then they're going to have to find a way to deal with that encounter (and if they choose to sneak in and steal the herbs, rather than fight the Ogres directly, well good for them. That can be fun too).There's a much bigger problem with scry-buff-teleport, but that really comes about at much higher levels, and anyway the game features a whole bunch of defences that the bad guys really should be using to prevent it.Agreed, mostly. I would prefer fly to either be a more limited resource, or to only be readily available at slightly higher levels. YMMV, of course.</blockquote>
