A light draft of air swirls around his body, lifting him slightly and making them feel almost weightless. Carrying his body on the currents of the winds and allowing him some form of flight.

------------------

"Flight had been an aspect that I didn't think I'd get, I was just too heavy, much less not a full weasel like my friend. After jumping down a flight of steps because I was feeling energetic I ended up realizing something, I can glide. Taking it to the next level, carefully, I jumped off the top of my garage, with no pain or even stress. Higher even, a tall tree next, which eventually led to me gliding for a few feet till I landed. Of course not out in the open per se but it was thrilling."


You gain the following benefits at all times.

As long as you are conscious, you are immune to falling Damage. Additionally, you may glide as you fall, traveling 35 feet horizontally for every 10 feet you fall. While gliding, you fall at a minimum speed of 10 feet per Round.

You may ascend into the air and fly using your mind. Your Free Movement is Mind x5 feet/Round, including vertically. You cannot Dash. When sprinting, roll Mind and add your rating in Mind plus 1 to the outcome, multiply by 5 to find your sprint speed. Your encumbrance limit is 10 lbs per point of Mind.

You are subject to the following effects while gliding or flying:

  • Earthbound: You cannot fly or glide in an atmosphere thin enough to be unbreathable.
  • Weight-Limited: This Effect is suppressed any time you are over-encumbered.

  • Any penalties to dice or movement, including from Encumbrance, are applied as normal. If your movement is reduced to 0 due to encumbrance, you will begin to sink down to the ground.
  • You may activate this Effect while in midair, allowing you to slow and survive any free fall.
