Sildatorak 01-25-07, 09:08 PM	I can't seem to find it, but I believe being knocked prone causes flying creatures to stall. I could be totally off base though.
TheCobra 01-25-07, 09:39 PM	Yeah, that's what the FAQ says happens when you trip winged creatures. It seems reasonable for the same thing to happen with great thunderclap, but I was wondering if the rules address this specifically. What about being buried, as with bombardment and similar spells? Does the creature fall with rocks on top of her?
Nicholas the Paladin 01-26-07, 03:49 PM	I don't know these spells, but aren't flying creatures immune to tripping? They probably recover too quickly to take any advantage out of it.
tarkin 01-26-07, 04:55 PM	A literal reading of the rules says nothing happens to them. A suggested rules offers a reasonable interpretation that a similar act to trip causes a creature that uses wings to Stall. I would use that rule.
TheCobra 01-26-07, 05:17 PM	A literal reading of the rules says nothing happens to them. Does it? Wouldn't saying they become prone as any other creature would be just as RAW? As far as I know, nothing in the rules says flying creatures can't be knocked prone. A suggested rules offers a reasonable interpretation that a similar act to trip causes a creature that uses wings to Stall. So you think creatures using magical flight should be able to ignore that party of great thunderclap?
