03-30-04, 01:49 PM I need to roll up a new character at around 6-7th lvl (I'm hoping my DM will say 7th. He should do based on past experience) and I want to make a sorceror that can fly at will but without spending any spells (none at that level will last for more than a few minutes. When I say at will I mean as many times as he wants when he wants) or using any magic items (He'll have taken a vow of poverty) to do so. I have found a few ways to do this

1) Take the winged template from Savage Species
2) Play a pixie or some other winged race from SS
3) Pay someone to wish for me to be able to fly at will

However none of these are as ideal as I'd like. 1+2 eat at my levels (1 has level mod +2, 2 has level mod +4 or higher) meaning my character will not have 3rd level spells at the start which would be very useful to have, and 3 requires 7530gp more than a 7th level character should have.

Anyone got any suggestions I haven't thought of yet?
