Celestial Armor Flight Activation


Rules Questions


Might be a silly question with an obvious answer, but...

From the Pathfinder SRD:

Quote:
This bright silver or gold +3 chainmail is so fine and light that it can be worn under normal clothing without betraying its presence. It has a maximum Dexterity bonus of +8, an armor check penalty of –2, and an arcane spell failure chance of 15%. It is considered light armor and allows the wearer to use fly on command (as the spell) once per day.

So...what kind of action does it take to activate the flight? Is it a standard action, since casting the spell is a standard action? Is it a move action, since movement is a move action? Or is it a free action, since it specifies that the use of it is activated "on command"?


I cannot recall exactly where it is, but I believe that unless otherwise stated, it is assumed to be a standard action for anything that does not mention an action otherwise.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Commands are standard, same action needed to turn on a flaming sword for example


Cool. I figured as much, but wanted to be sure. Thanks!


The Combat section has tables for various actions. The standard action table includes an entry for "Activate a magic item other than a potion or oil".
