[QUOTE="Toras, post: 4403161, member: 13626"] While I can understand people using Flight to avoid being squished as a caster on an open plane, everything about that screams to me that someone a couple hundred feet up is pretty easy to spot by anything with vision based on movement or scouts. If stealth, even the most minor concession of sticking to the forest, should be a concern. Especially in a point of light setting, where who knows what might exist out there in the deep forests or high mountains. Moreover, unless the wizard is digging deep for the wealth to buy wands or scrolls of it, there is a distinct limit to the number of 3rd level spells he can cast a day. 1 Fly is one less fireball or lightning bolt. It means that even if he is flying, the rest of the party likely isn't. And unless the wizards a dick, he cares enough about the party to be close enough to support them. Really flight only became a problem when it was possible to reliable do mass fly, which was a great deal higher. [/QUOTE]
