Charcacters on foot can take a single, doube, or run move on their turn (mooving 1x, 2x, or 4x their speed, respectively). What sort of movements can a flying creature take? Can anyone quote rules for me detailing the limits of their movement? I know they can take a double move, but is there an equivilent of a "run" for flying creatures? Thanks!

Ogre4Hire 04-15-04, 03:16 PM	The rules are a little sticky on that point, as the folks at Wizards keep contradicting themselves there. So just Rule Zero it.

A character under the effect of a fly spell cannot use the run action because flight is magically granted and not a natural method of propulsion. Also, 3.5 has clerified that point, Ogre, undead (et al) can run forever.
