Aerial Warfare
Not all warfare occurs on land. It is possible
for anakim with wings, dwarves, and elves to
fly. Before aerial warfare may be considered, a few
things must be determined for each flying creature,
such as: Flight Speed, Ceiling Limit, Maneuverability,
Climb Rate, and Dive Rate.
Flight Factor
A Flight Factor is a number that determines
Flight Speed. To determine a Flight Factor, consider
a particular creature and calculate the following
equation:
FF = (WI/HL)(PFS/W)
Let FF = Flight Factor. Let WI = Wingspan
in feet. Let HL = the Height or Length in feet
of the creature. Let PFS = the average of the Physical
Fitness and Strength sub-ability scores. Let W =
Weight.
For example, if a male human who is 6 feet
tall were given wings that spanned 8 feet, and the
human had average Physical Fitness and Strength,
and Weight, then the human would have a FF of
(8/6)(117/150) = 1.03.
Next, consider the FF and consult the following
table:

For example, when considering the winged
human from above, the winged human would have
a Flight Speed of 200, which is, in this case, nearly 4
times the Sprint Speed of a 6’ human without wings.
Flight Speed
Flight Speed is the number of feet per round
at which a creature may fly. The higher the number,
the faster the creature may fly.
Ceiling Limit
The Ceiling Limit is the highest altitude to
which the creature may climb. The creature is incapable
of flying higher than their Ceiling Limit.
Maneuverability
The Maneuverability of a flying creature is
its ability to move as it pleases with respect to momentum.
A flying creature with high Maneuverability
is barely hindered by momentum and may
greatly change its direction while flying. Conversely,
a flying creature with low Maneuverability is greatly
hindered by momentum and may barely change its
direction while flying.
Maneuverability is a function of the
creature’s Agility sub-ability and the creature’s weight.
To determine the Maneuverability Factor of a flying
creature, divide the creature’s weight by their
Agility sub-ability points. Then, consult the table
below:
