[QUOTE="mneme, post: 5646853, member: 59248"] I'm guessing they'll give first level pixies "fly 6 (limit: 1), thus forcing them to end their turns no more than 1 square off the ground. Or even limit: 0 (letting them zig-zag during their turn, but forcing them to hover at ground level at EOT rather than hoving above a monster). Then let them bump the limit up to 1 in heroic, and higher in paragon and epic, so by high paragon or low epic at the latest, they've got an unlimited fly speed cheaper than most characters can get it (so probably a feat, maybe a class at-will instead). Could even really give them automatic flight upgrades (limit:1 at 1st level, limit: 3 in paragon, remove the limit in epic), but that's not usually Wizards' style. The problem is, of course, that letting you hover higher than 1-2 squares above the ground is unbalanced in Heroic, as you ca become immune to melee against many monsters. Plus plenty of small winged creatures don't fly all that high most of the time, so it's justifiable. [/QUOTE]
