Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 7993146" data-attributes="member: 29398">No, but it'll still get him swinging on the end of said wire a bit, based on a few factors: wind strength, size of person and clothing, and whether or not the person is intentionally trying to present more or less surface for the wind to push against.No, because as the rules define the physics of how the spell functions and because we need that knowledge in order to make rulings around the spell, we need to know what those physics are.Problem is, if you're not weightless many other worms come crawling out of cans.First off: if you're not weightless then what's supporting your weight?  If, as someone suggested, it's as if you're standing on a platform then what's preventing you from just stepping off it and falling to the ground?  If it's like there's a wire pulling you up we need to know that, and how-where it's attached and-or bearing your weight, as that would affect your ability to do various things such as move or twist or shoot an arrow from a bow.If the spell is supporting your weight evenly from every part of you then the net effect is the same as being weightless.  Ditto if the spell is in effect neutralizing gravity on you.Also the spell doesn't put you in an invisible vertical tube, either literally or figuratively.  The caster can only control your elevation above the ground, not your geographical position relative to what's below you; if the caster can also control your geographical position that turns Levitate into Telekinesis, which is tons more powerful.</blockquote>
