In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss flight. We examine the state of flight rules in DnD 5e and PF2 and take a peek at DnD 3.x and PF1 for comparison, then we explore how to handle flying enemies from a player’s perspective and how to handle flying players from a GM/DM perspective. We also take a brief aside into how cool airships are.

Special thanks to @SenChatterton on Twitter for the question of the week this week.
