lutz_the_mage 04-09-05, 12:22 PM	I don't have find in the DMG but I foound in the monster manual that you can run while flying( p.312) *a creature can use the run action while flying, provided it flies in a straight line*. Can you give me the page where it's write in the DMG?
Da Dinictus 04-09-05, 01:56 PM	DMG 3.5, page 20, table 2-1.
Lazzmaniandevil 04-09-05, 02:57 PM	All I can see on that page is "Use the movement rules to apply to any sort of movement". I think you can "run" if you have a fly speed, just as you can use run to swim faster if you have a swim speed. However, you can't use run to fly faster if your flying capacity comes from magical or spell-like abilities. That's how I interpret the rules anyway...
Egres 04-09-05, 06:33 PM	From the Rules of the Game article: Run A creature using natural flying speed can use the run action. As with any other run action, the creature must move in a straight line. A flyer using the run action cannot gain more than 5 feet of altitude, but it can lose any amount of altitude, and it gains the normal bonus movement for the altitude lost (5 feet per 5 feet descended, a maximum of twice its normal flying speed.) For example, a harpy could use the run action to fly 320 feet in a straight line. While doing so, it could not gain more than 5 feet of altitude.
