The Bralani Azata's flying movement


Rules Questions


Ok the Bralani Azata reads

In humanoid form, it cannot fly or use its whirlwind blast. In wind form, it functions as if under the effects of a wind walk spell.

Its fly speed is listed as fly 100 ft. (perfect)

The Wind walk spell reads

You alter the substance of your body to a cloud-like vapor (as the gaseous form spell) and move through the air, possibly at great speed. You can take other creatures with you, each of which acts independently.

Normally, a wind walker flies at a speed of 10 feet with perfect maneuverability. If desired by the subject, a magical wind wafts a wind walker along at up to 600 feet per round (60 mph) with poor maneuverability. Wind walkers are not invisible but rather appear misty and translucent. If fully clothed in white, they are 80% likely to be mistaken for clouds, fog, vapors, or the like.

A wind walker can regain its physical form as desired and later resume the cloud form. Each change to and from vaporous form takes 5 rounds, which counts toward the duration of the spell (as does any time spent in physical form). As noted above, you can dismiss the spell, and you can even dismiss it for individual wind walkers and not others.

For the last minute of the spell's duration, a wind walker in cloud form automatically descends 60 feet per round (for a total of 600 feet), though it may descend faster if it wishes. This descent serves as a warning that the spell is about to end.

So which is it? does it fly at 100' perfect? Or 10 feet with perfect maneuverability. If desired by the subject, a magical wind wafts a wind walker along at up to 600 feet per round (60 mph) with poor maneuverability. And what about the other Wind walk abilities, can it take others with it? can it push its speed to 600' round with poor?


Both? It is under the wind walk ability, instead it can use its 100 foot fly speed with perfect maneuverability. I don't know why it would want to use its wind walk ability, but that would be my answer.


except is says

In humanoid form, it cannot fly or use its whirlwind blast. In wind form, it functions as if under the effects of a wind walk spell.

Its the "Functioning as if under the effect of a wind walk" that seems contradictory


No one else? As good a summon as this is I thought for sure it would have come up before now.

So what part of "functions as if under the effects of a wind walk spell" prevents from having a fly speed of 100(perfect) while in wind form?


well wind walk says

Normally, a wind walker flies at a speed of 10 feet with perfect maneuverability. If desired by the subject, a magical wind wafts a wind walker along at up to 600 feet per round (60 mph) with poor maneuverability.

is the 10 feet a typo that is supposed to say 100 feet?
