[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 118516, member: 707"] Colored highlights added by me. From the SRD: Also from the SRD: The Spring Attack feat is not dependant on the type of movement. It does not mention walking, running, burrowing, or any other type of movement. So long as one is making a [i]melee attack[/i] and not a [i]ranged attack[/i] the feat is accessible. Fly allows movement that is as easy as walking, so attacking and casting spells can be done normally. This includes feats such as Cleave, Whirlwind Attack, and yes, Spring Attack. There is also a Sage Advice somewhere where Skip rules that this is so as well, but feel free to disregard this, because I can't remember for the life of me where I read it to provide a reference. :p Regarding Flyby Attack: This feat is only available to a certain subset of creatures (those who have the ability to fly). For those creatures who have access to it, it's an excellent feat because it doesn't have the same prereqs that Spring Attack does. Spring Attack's mechanics are different, in that it costs more to acquire it (it's at the end of a feat chain,) but it's useful in a wider variety of situations. :) [/QUOTE]
