MAGIC TRICK - FLOATING DISK

[cjunqueira]

Dear All

I have a doubt about the Floating Disk abilities from the Feat Magic Trick.

Defensive Disk: When the character grab the disk to use as a shield, he is no longer riding the disk?

Disk Rider: A character can charge or run while is riding a floating disk?

Thanks.

I assume that you are still riding the disk, while grabbing the edge. It does sound like it would look a bit "extreme" cartoon hero, but it never says you stop flying. Grabbing the disk takes up a move action though, so it's not like you'd be getting far on the disk while doing this.

You are flying, so it really just depends on if any flying character can charge or run. Most people seem to assume that they can, since it never says they can't.

This might help. From what I can see you're still "riding" your disk just tilting it, which is why you need 3 ranks in Fly to pull this off. All Disk Rider gives you is a 30' Fly speed (Average) while remaining 5' off the ground. I see nothing in the Fly skill or under Fly speed to negate the rules around making a Charge action so this you can use, as far as I can tell. Can someone smarter than me chime in on Run while flying though? My instinct is that this doesn't work because there's no threat of needing to make a Con check since your legs aren't doing the moving but I don't know the RAW on this.

Defensive Disk is like when a skater grabs the nose of their board... you're still riding the disk, just pulling the nose up a bit, exposing the bottom of the disk.
