[QUOTE="Saagael, post: 5194249, member: 84839"] The power says, word for word, "You must land at the end of [B]this [/B]movement.", emphasis mine. "This" is referring to the previous sentence, which states you get to fly a number of squares equal to your speed. Thus, you can fly a number of squares equal to your speed, but at the end of "this" movement (movement granted by the power), you must land. Stepping out of my Rules Lawyer shoes, this make sense from a fluff point of view, as the wings aren't fully grown and the character needs to rest after short bursts (i.e. one move action). Not only that, but most characters have a movement speed of 6. The overland flight that is granted at level 16 is speed 12. Which means that, if double moving were allowed with Dragon Wings, it would make the overland speed 12 useless, since double moving is superior to using overland flight. The only time this isn't true is when the character is in heavy armor and has a move speed of -1. Even then the problem is easily overcome with a single feat, or one of dozens of types of foot-gear. I'm not against allowing Dragon Wings to be used for double moving, since I think this PP could use a little beefing up. I am only stating that Dragon Wings cannot be combined into a double move as per RAW. [/QUOTE]
