10-23-06, 08:50 PM Are concentration checks necessary while your mage is flying. Like say if ur not used to it especially. Like if u cast a fly spell on urself and want to cast a fireball midway.

Also, very important, At 6th level when my warlock takes the fell flight invocation, can i take the "hover" feat from the MM?

Just asking for some sort of official rulings and help on this guys. Thanks

10-23-06, 08:53 PM Casting a spell while flying is like riding a horse and casting a spell. Casting a spell while flying with perfect maneuverability is like sitting on a horse and casting. You're not being jostled or jarred, unless you have wings.

And since Improved Flight can be taken even if your fly speed comes from periodic magic spells, I don't see why Hover can't be too, as long as you meet the prereqs.

"Spellcasters using natural flight or using a spells or magic devices that empower them to fly personally, such as a fly spell or winged boots, can cast spells while flying without Concentration checks (unless other conditions they encounter while aloft require them). For casters using mounts or magic devices that function like mounts, such as a carpet of flying or a broom of flying, must make a Concentration check (DC 10 + spell level) or lose the spell."
