Flying while encumbered


Rules Questions


Are there no longer any drawbacks for flying while encumbered? I thought at one point, you couldn't fly if you were carrying more than a light load, but I can't find the rule anywhere. I did a search for both 'flying' and 'encumbered' in the pdf and came up empty.

Pg. 162 "Flying mounts can’t fly in medium or heavy barding."

Pg. 169 "A medium or heavy load counts as medium or heavy armor for the purpose of abilities or skills that are restricted by armor."

So, only for mounts that I have found, other than specific limitations under spells like Fly.


thanks,

I had found the first page you referenced, just not the second.


Armor check penalty applies to the fly skill, so presumably if you cannot make the DCs anymore you would have a problem. I do not know of any rule banning flight with a load.
