[QUOTE="FlyingChihuahua, post: 8868269, member: 6904924"] Just because you didn't, doesn't mean that nobody else doesn't. And let's be honest: What wizard [I]doesn't[/I] get a spell that basically trivializes any terrain based challenge? Either from getting it by leveling up or by buying/finding a scroll and copying that into their spellbook? Yeah, there's [I]always[/I] an archer parking themselves around every cliff/gorge that exists just to shoot anybody who casts Fly down. I wonder how much that job pays. And then the Druid gets shot by the same archer that's hiding near the cliff. Not only that, but because the bird they're turning into probably doesn't have a lot of health, they are now [I]guaranteed[/I] to be plummeting to their death, rather than having to make an easy save that any spellcaster worth their salt is gonna have things to help them pass that save, like high Constitution, Proficiency in Constitution saves from Resilient, and/or just straight up advantage on concentration saves from War Caster. And on choosing a race that gets a flying speed, you must not be aware of the occasional kerfuffles that happen whenever a player chooses to be an Aaracokra, the only race that gets a flight speed at 1st level (that I'm aware of, at least). And when it comes to the other races that can [I]get[/I] a flight speed, tell me the average level that they get that flight speed, because I can guarantee you it's at or around the same level that spellcasters can start casting Fly.
