And while Fly takes concentration... so does Sorcery Incarnate at level 14. Yet Jeremy is talking about pushing it back from level 14 because even at level 14 he feels flight with concentration is too powerful.And over half of that is encounter design and monster design. Sure, maybe at 5th level none of your enemies having an effective ranged attack makes sense, but by 9th level every enemy should be able to deal with a flier by having ranged damage. This means that you aren't actually out of reach. And yes, you can bypass obstacles and encounters. Trivially easily. However, name a single encounter or obstacle that could be bypassed by permanent flight by the ENTIRE party, not just the flier, that cannot ALSO be just as easily overcome by the Find Familiar spell. A spell which, by the way, is available at 1st level and creates a flying creature.I mean.. I would sure hope so, considering the plethora of ways to get fly speeds. If by 14th level you can't get concentration free flight, then something is deeply wrong. Especially since easily used options like Brooms of Flying exist.</blockquote>
