What It Is

Flying lets a creature move through the air using a flying speed.

This page is a compact play reference. If a spell, feature, monster, item, or DM ruling gives a more specific instruction, use that specific instruction.

How To Use It

Spend flying speed to move in three dimensions and bypass many ground obstacles.

Limits And Rolls

  • If a flying creature is knocked prone or its speed is reduced to 0, it can fall unless a rule keeps it aloft.
  • Ceilings, wind, restraints, and magic can restrict flying.
  • Flying normally requires no roll unless conditions are difficult.
  • You only roll when the rule, DM, spell, item, or feature asks for a roll.
