Flight

Description

This ability grants the individual the power of autonomous flight. Whether they have giant angel wings, float on a cloud, or levitate, they are able to lift themselves into the air and fly around under their own power.

No roll is required to activate this ability. It is considered innate to the character.

Limits

Flight speed does not modify ground or swim speed as these are covered under other abilities. Flight requires atmosphere in which to fly. Average flight speeds can only be sustained for so long before exhaustion sets in. Long distance flights and bursts of speed will require more stops to rest.

Levels
1 An average flight speed of 25 mph can be sustained with a carry capacity of 50% of the individual's body weight.
2 An average flight speed of 50 mph can be sustained with a carry capacity of 100% of the individual's body weight.
3 An average flight speed of 100 mph can be sustained with a carry capacity of 150% of the individual's body weight.


Combat System

There are no FS3 combat commands for this ability. Characters who have room to fly and are in flight should be considered out of range for melee combat unless they are fighting with melee weapons themselves.
