Double digits. Fly changes the game a lot.  The key feature of high level should be PC flight.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px">2) Epic. Epic should be when you have "Nonchalant Flight". </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px">3) Maneuverability and duration. By having flight spells with different ratings and lengths, you can separate combat flight, travel flight, and utility flight.. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px">4) No. No magic stripping clumsiness or dangerous mass loss. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px">5) Yes.   </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px">6) Since this game has many flying iconic enemies and flight does affect the game greatly, the DMG should contain information for hindering, strengthening and limiting flight and dealing with flying enemies.  </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 10px">7) The core game should contain items like nets and bolas. I prefer if there are strong way to take down fliers but I don''t want them too silly or weak that player feel they  </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><em>need</em> fight. If it can't be done, just load the book with flight items.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">8) It should be the the back of the DMG somewhere.
