That means half speed, even on the ground. This makes sense; we rely on gravity a lot when walking, even more when running.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Like most spells, levitate persists even if the target moves out of range. Thus, levitate persists through blink.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">However, the caster can't move the target when out of range, and the Ethereal Plane is definitely out of range. So a blinked-out warlock cannot be moved up and down.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">On the other hand, the caster can ready an action to move the warlock as soon as they de-blink.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blink gives you ten feet of movement on returning. Thus, each blink effect lets the warlock get 10 feet closer to the ground. If the levitate caster uses the full 20 feet upon casting, that's two blink-moves to get down.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Misty step can get the warlock to the ground, but they're still "climbing" at half speed. As a warlock player, that strikes me as a lousy use of one of the warlock's precious few slots.</li> </ul>Big picture, as far as mobility goes, levitate locks the warlock down a lot harder than blink and misty step free them up. That said, unless the warlock is a bladelock, they can be just as effective hanging in midair as moving around on the ground.</blockquote>
