[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 1078461, member: 11434"] Hmm... ok, thanks for the advice, everyone who gave some. :) I think that I am going to attempt to gauge my annoyance factor on the other players and DM. At least one person asked for examples, so here goes (I can't recall the exact words used, and thus am not going to attempt to re-create the conversation). Maybe this isn't the best example, but here goes... We were playing an high-level 3.0 game at this point. The paladin has a young silver dragon holy mount (with the leadership feat and optional rules found in Defenders of the Faith). We are having a battle in rocky/mountian terrain vs giants. The dragon & paladin fly down to hover between between an outcropping of rock and a large tree to guard him from the other giants while attacking the one in front of him. (BTW, we are using minis and a battle-mat.) From the placing of the figures on the mat, I note (out loud) that he really couldn't do that, because the outcropping of rock and the tree are in the way of his wings. He wouldn't be able to hover there. Slight discussion ensures. It is decreed by DM that he can indeed hover there. No answer is presented to my point that he couldn't hover someplace where he could not utilize his full wingspan. After the game, I mention to DM that I do not believe that the dragon should be able to hover someplace where he couldn't use his full wingspan, as dragons [i]fly[/i], they don't levitate. After longer discussion, still nothing is resolved on the matter. [/QUOTE]
