Hello everybody,
in my group there was the question whether you can or can't do a double move/run action while "Air Walking".
Are ther any suggestions?
The spell states you can tread as if on solid ground, and puts no other conditions on the speed or use of it.
Do remember that going upwards (at up to a 45 degree angle) counts as double movement.
I could be wrong, but this *may* have been an issue in 1st edition, only able to air walk at a certain speed.

The spell puts a speed limit on upward and on downward travel (though I would think downward travel could be quite qiuck, like running down a hill).
But it puts no speed limit on level travel, and equates it to walking on solid ground, so I would see no reason to disallow double moves or even full-out running at 4x while using this spell.

The speed restrictions in the spell ( half speed up/down ) made me think about it.
It can lead to the opinion that though the air is trated as solid ground it might be difficult terrain like walking on steps even if you are moving at the same height level.
That could limit the speed to walks. The Fly spell has clear rules on that at Pathfinder RPG but the SRD has not.
