We now answer all questions pertaining to Rules Support, Software Support, and the Magic Online Store. This includes game rulings, order difficulties, technical support, tournament information, product replacement, and general questions."I called their service line for Rules support: 1-206-624-0933 (outside the U.S.) (I am in Canada, Yes I paid LD charges <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />). I spoke with Matt Hyra of Wizards of the Coast who was answering questions about the Dungeons & Dragons rules clarifications.Me:"Can a person continue to fly with the use of the spell while under the effect of a Hold Person spell?"Matt:"You mean can they continue to coast along on momemtum or just keep flying in general?"Me:"Can they continue to fly on their own? According to the Players Handbook and the Dungeon Masters guide description of being held, the target is 'frozen on the spot','cannot move, speak or take any physical action.' But, a held person can still execute purely mental actions. The description of Fly says that it requires as much concentration as walking and therefore seems to say that you can fly with just mental control."<Matt put me on hold while he consulted with others>Matt: "It is slightly more than mental action. There is still some physical coordination involved. What that means is you can keep yourself aloft when held, so you won't fall, but you cannot continue to move."Me:"So a person under the effects of a Fly spell cannot continue to move while under the effects of a Hold spell?"Matt:"Correct."That should at least answer Ender_3's question. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
