Pounce + Charge + Flying


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

I was wondering if you a person can make a Pounce while flying. Pounce only say:

Pounce (Ex)

When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, it can make a full attack (including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability).

So if someone is flying and go driving attack which works like a charge assuming it moves a minimum of 30ft and 10ft must be straight down to meet the conditions. He would make double damage with his first atatck or with all attacks given by pounce?


Yes, you can pounce while flying.

As long as you're charging, you can pounce.

And he wouldn't make double damage unless he's using Spirited Charge or a Lance (and both makes x3!), but this would apply to all attacks made through Pounce through RAW.

Your GM might not like that idea though, so it's generally worth it to ask him before LANCEPOUNCE ensues.

Hmm Aint the rules of flying say this?

Flying During a Charge

A creature that flies can make dive attacks. A dive attack works just like a charge, but the diving creature must move a minimum of 30 ft and descend at least 10 ft. It can make claw or talon atatcks, but these deal double damage.

Or if this is only for natural attacks and not for manufactured weapons?


Yes, it would only apply to those two attack types.
