Chapter 18: Warfare
Maneuverability is the maximum number of
degrees a flying creature may turn in 1 round of
flight. For example, if a flying creature can turn
90 o , and flying due north, then at the end of the
round they may be facing west, north, east, or anywhere
in between.
Climb Rate
Climb Rate is a rate in feet per round at which
a flying creature may climb to a higher altitude. Climb
Rate is determined as a function of Strength and
weight.
To determine the Climb Factor of a flying
creature, divide the creature’s weight by its Strength
sub-ability score. Consider the Climb Factor and
consult the table below:
Climb Factor

50

0. 60-0.

0. 70-0.

0. 80-0.

75

1. 76-1.

For example, if a flying creature is presently
100 feet above the ground and has a Climb Rate of
20 feet, then the flying creature may increase its altitude
to 120 feet at the end of the current round if
so desired.
Dive Rate
Dive Rate is not determined for each character.
Instead, consult Falling Damage in Chapter 10:
Combat.

Aerial Attacks
A flying creature may attack another, provided
the attack does not hinder their flight. If an
attack does hinder flight, then it is best determined
by the Aedile how it hinders the flight. An attack
may reduce the Flight Speed or Maneuverability of
the flying creature.
Aerial Wounds
If a flying creature is wounded, then there
is a chance that flight is disrupted. For each wound
suffered by a flying creature, the flying creature must
pass an Agility sub-ability check at TH 17 to remain
in flight. If failed, then the flying creature will fall
for 1d10 rounds before it can regain control of flight.
Oftentimes, a wounded flying creature hits the
ground below before it can regain control of flight.
If a flying creature falls below 50% of their
maximum possible LP or BPP for wings, then the
flying creature is unable to fly and will fall until the
fall is broken, usually by the ground below. Similarly,
if either wing, or arm that controls the wing, is
damaged, then the flying creature must make an
Agility sub-ability check at TH 21 or fall until the
fall is broken. Consult Falling Damage in Chapter 10:
Combat.
Loss of Aerial Control
If a flying creature loses aerial control, such
as when wounded and after failing an Agility subability
check, then the Aedile must roll 1d8 to determine
the direction each round. Let 1 = N, 2 = NE,
3 = E, 4 = SE, 5 = S, 6 = SW, 7 = W, and 8 = NW.
