Obviously, it wouldn't be sanctioned, but would I be in a legal sinkhole if I did so?Secondly--and this has been bugging me for like two weeks-- the flyby ability has gotten me particularly perturbed. I know it doesn't grant opportunity attacks towards its target, but what about others it (the monster) might pass on the way? As an example, last session, I was playing a fighter. First round, I took a double-move action to run up right-next-to some flying creature.  When it's turn came up, the DM wanted to use it's flyby maneuver, by attacking me, then flying away. Normally, I wouldn't have much of a problem, but the bat-thing was flying (hovering really) adjacent to my PC when it started out. I kinda fought the DM on it, because locially (to me) the creature wouldn't have picked up enough speed to attack me, then run the hell away, being adjacent to me. Of course, he got around my complaint by shifting .. I would have thought it would function similar to a horses trample, sans AoO. Was I off-base?</blockquote>
