Flying stands?

[Aaron Gillespie]

Where can I get some kind of flying stands to represent different flight elevations?

I have used the stand-off placed in the center of a delivered pizza. Wash em off, and they work well, except of you use a tall miniature. I have also used a die placed beside a figure to indicate how many squares up it was.

Just use some kind of tokens. Each token under the mini represents 5 or 10 feet of height.

A good option for this kind of thing can be found in the diorama (dollhouse, model railroad) section of hobby and craft stores - they're wooden disks meant to be used as bases for various sized models.

I use them for my Warhammer AoS minis.

Cheap poker chips, they come in several sizes and colors.

I should have clarified. The not so tall figure was the figure your figure is flying/hovering over.

Can't do that with tokens/chips. :-)

Litko Inc has most of the gaming tokens and pawns that you need to augment your game. Their markers are available at their website or through eBay. The basic flying stand has a fixed height, but there is room on the bottom of the stand for a die that shows a number representing the height; "2" for 20' up or "4" for 40' up, etc.

I have 1"x1" clear acrylic cubes I got from Delvie's plastics that work as long as you don't mind not being able to place miniatures under them. Also I got transparent red 1" rounds for fire/swarms that are really nice since you can see the map through them.

+1 to the pizza stand flier

Combat tiers from Tinkered Tactics work great if you can find them (currently unavailable here on Paizo.com).

Also, clear acrylic deck boxes work great — the kind with the top and bottom that are almost the same, but nest together. There's room underneath for minis, and the boxes happen to be 2" x 3" x 4", meaning you can get heights of 10 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet, or double any of those if you stack a pair.

Here's an example.

I don't even use height in my games, I treat flying as a on/off state. It too much of a pain to have to keep track of all of that. It just slow the game down to me. I know some a lot of my group has at one point got a pack of 36 six sided dice. The cube that they come in they just place their mini on top of that. I have also see people just place their characters on top of a 6 side dice. When we actual use minis. I use VTT d20pro personally and they have status you can place on the character tokens to keep track.
