[QUOTE="Nail, post: 4404986, member: 224"] .....with the best bet being "misinterpreted", with an emphasis on "reading the ritual description only once and then winging it". :D As I pointed out above, the TFD floats 1 foot above the ground. Any other location doesn’t work (water, tightrope, your grandma’s shawl, etc). Again, there’s not much to interprete here…[i]except[/i] for whether or not the ritual caster can ride the disk while commanding it (using a move action) to move. Perfectly reasonable people can disagree on this point without throwing the rest of the ritual description into doubt! That is, even if the ritual caster can ride upon it, he still is only 1 foot above the ground, and is still not allowed to float over a spider silk strand or sail over a 50 foot-deep chasm. And really, why should it matter (much) if the ritual caster should float 1 foot over the ground? Do you have [u]that[/u] many pressure plate traps in your dungeons? If you’d like – especially as there is language of this sort in the Flying Carpet description - insert house rules that assign combat penalties to any who ride the TFD. (Given the size of the disk, it seems only one person could ride it in any event.) Perhaps you could be more specific. Many uses??? Reading through your posts, you seem to find allowing the TFD to carry people "distasteful". Why, specifically? Is it because a Flying Carpet can also carry people? Other than what the two things can carry, they have precious few similarities. One flies, the other doesn't. Already a large difference! [/QUOTE]
