07-24-07, 07:28 PM Can someone please explain to me flyby attack, the monster feat? I feel like there is something I am missing. Does it provide an additional standard action as long as you are flying? Or does it simply allow you to move, standard action, finish move?

Thanks.

07-24-07, 10:43 PM It works very similar to Spring Attack in that you can move, and attack at any point during the move. You are still only taking a single move and a single attack, the attack just happens to be in the middle of the move. Flyby differs from Spring, however, in that you have to take the creature's flying maneuverability into account when determing when and where they can attack during their move.
