All flying rules are the same as in the base game, except where noted below.
Creatures with a Fly speed may use either their Acrobatics or Athletics (whichever is higher) as their Flight skill.
Players who gain a Fly speed may choose Acrobatics or Athletics as their Flight skill.
If untrained in that skill, they are treated as Trained in that skill.
Any player or creature that takes damage while flying will fall
unless they succeed a Flight check or Fortutude save vs a DC equal to 5 + half the damage taken.
You may use their Flight skill for Maneuver in Flight.
Arrest a Fall is now as follows:
Reaction
Requires: You have a Fly speed.
Trigger: You would fall.
Attempt a Flight check or a Reflex save vs a DC of 15, plus 1 for every 50 feet you would fall that round.
- Critical Success: Halve the total distance you would have fallen. You remain airborne at your new altitude.
- Success: You land without taking fall damage. If you fell from height greater than 500 feet, you instead lose 500 feet of altitude.
- Failure: You take half damage from falling, and are Stunned 1.
- Critical Fail: You take full damage from falling, and are Stunned 3.
