[QUOTE="Asisreo, post: 8062872, member: 7019027"] Allow me to explain: From a minutia perspective, yes, the fighter cannot fly unassisted by magic or DM fiat. However, we are not playing a game of isolated challenges without any context. I gave an answer as ridiculous as the challenge: to simply float in mid-air. The only reason you've come up with this challenge is to say that a caster can fly. But a fighter can do anything the caster can do while they're flying through mundane means. Like you said, it could be for scouting, intimidation, or having to grab something from above. But a fighter can scout, intimidate, or grab something without having to cast a fly spell. Magic is not meant to be this catch-all get-out-of-jail-free card. There are flaws to magic use. Magic's primary use outside of combat is not to solve impossible problems, it's to solve problems quicker and more efficiently than through mundane means. At the expense of combat ability. Flying is an advantage in scouting except you can be easily seen. It also means anything that hits you threatens your concentration and you could start plummeting to your 20d6 fall or waste another spell gently floating down just to be constantly being attacked anyways. You can't fly and be invisible without an external item or spellcaster, so if you're flying, you're going to be noticed. Again, magic is useful. But whatever you're trying to accomplish with it can be done through mundane means. [/QUOTE]
