Flyby Attack


Rules Questions


The description of Flyby Attack (monster feat) is clear as mud to me. Could someone please clarify it for me?

You may move, take a standard action, and move again. This movement, cumulatively, cannot be more than your fly speed.

So a creature with 60-foot fly speed could fly 30 feet out from behind total cover, activate a spell-like ability, and then fly back behind said total cover.

Such a creature could also swoop in and make a single attack.

Unlike the Spring Attack feat, this movement provokes as normal.

Yep. edit: Notably, this counts as a single movement for the purposes of distance moved and turning under the Fly skill.


Thanks.
