| Many creatures on Terra have the capacity to fly. Pyromancers can fly by expelling flames from their hands or feet, and Aeromancers can fly by guiding air currents and navigating them with a glider. There are rules governing movement while flying, which are outlined below | Many creatures on Terra have the capacity to fly.

| When a creature is flying, they must spend a movement action each round, which keeps them in motion for the entire round. They must move a minimum of 2H, or enter [[flying#Free Fall]]. Maximum speed is 4H, unless improved by talents or feats. When a creature takes off, they start at a speed of 4H. You can increase your speed by 1H per segment, up to your personal maximum flying speed. You can decrease your speed by up to 3H per segment | When a creature is flying, they must spend a movement action each round, which keeps them in motion for the entire round.

| - | When flying, you have a discrete heading. You can only move into the three hexes "in front" of your character, as determined by your heading. No matter which hex you choose, your heading does not change. You can change your heading by 60°, which costs one hex of movement but does not reduce your speed. After moving at least one hex, you may change your heading again | + | When flying, you have a discrete heading, which points from your current hex into one of the six surrounding hexes.

You can change your heading by 60°, which costs one hex of movement but does not reduce your speed. After moving straight forward at least one hex, you may change your heading again |

| - | Creatures with the ability to hover can choose to slow their flight and enter a hovering state. To do so they must move half their current speed, after which their speed is zero and they are hovering in place. Maintaining a hover in subsequent rounds requires either a swift or a move action. A swift action maintains the hover in place. If a move action is used to maintain the hover, the creature may move 1H (per segment) in any direction, even up or down | + | Creatures with the ability to hover can choose to slow their flight and enter a hovering state.
