Creatures with a fly speed.


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

So many questions, where do I begin?

Is a listed fly speed in a creature's stat block a definite indication that this creature has a "natural fly speed?" I ask because what of creatures with the constant spell-like ability fly. Whether they do or not raises more questions:

1) Since they're using the spell fly technically, do they get Fly as a class skill?
2) Do they get 1/2 their caster level to Fly checks, as per the fly spell?
3) Do they get a bonus to Fly checks based on their maneuverability (the Fly skill states only those with a "natural fly speed" get a maneuverability bonus. The fly spell always grants "good" maneuverability)?

All of the creatures in the bestiary with a constant fly spell-like ability don't seem to follow the same rules when calculating their Fly skill bonus, so it's nearly impossible to determine the rules behind this.
