[QUOTE="Psifon, post: 374565, member: 3171"] I just cant get behind the idea that fly is broken. Sure it allows you to avoid a lot of encounters, but your whole party can't (until very high levels). It is mostly used by sorcerers and wizards, who are pretty much dog meat without it. Face it, if these classes take damage at all they have screwed up some place. If they take damage twice they are dead. This gripe about fly is made by DM's who get frustrated with not being able to tag the wizard. If a wizard is played correctly, you are not SUPPOSED to be able to tag him. Once in a while as a DM you are supposed to throw an encounter that is specifically designed to get around a wizard's common defenses. This keeps the wizard sweating. Just don't nerf the ability that keeps him from being attacked by trolls. You just need to come up with something more creative than a pack of trolls to hit him with. One round of base to base contact with a similar CR monster, and the average wizard is dead. That is why we have fly. [/QUOTE]
