And if so, would this character have advantage given the higher vantage point?
#2 Coredump00 Dec 31, 2014 12:17:32	Sure you can attack, even cast other spells, assuming they don't also require concentration.   As for advantage, that is up to your DM, but I would not think so.
(Reply to #2) thewilderness	Thanks.
#4 mellored Jan 02, 2015 6:14:24	The downside is that if you lose concentraion, you fall down and hurt yourself.   So it's risky to use it in battle.
#5 Coredump00 Jan 02, 2015 9:45:31	The 5E levitate just floats you down when the spell ends, and you are only 20' up.   Which leads to the question... if you levitate up 20', then push yourself over a pit, so you just keep floating, or do you drop down to 20' above the pit floor?
#6 BRJN Jan 11, 2015 18:57:27	I would rule that the sudden height difference (the edge of the pit) breaks the Levitation so you drift down to land next to the side of the pit where you started.  (If you have a breeze and a sail out for forward motion, DEX Saves and/or comedy may result.)
#7 Noon Jan 11, 2015 21:15:38	I'd say you'd start drifting down, not falling. But that's my ruling as a GM.   I'd probably just give some sort of bonus or advantage to a jump/acrobatics check to leap the pit.

It is not feather fall, you can't cast levitate and then jump off a 300' castle tower and be fine. You would fall any distance greater than the maximum spell height.
