Flight

​

Too heavy to fly by natural means, the stony Gargoyles must use this Discipline; other Cainites capable of flight (by transforming into a bat or mist using Protean, for example) do not need it and cannot learn it.

​

Gargoyles are unaware that Flight is a mystical power; they accept that they can fly because it is part and parcel of being a Gargoyle. They see a higher rating in Flight simply as greater flying skill.

​

There are no individual powers for Flight. Each level allows the Gargoyle to fly with greater speed and maneuverability. All Gargoyles start with a free dot of Flight.

​

* The vampire cannot actually fly, but can soar like a hang-glider. He also cannot carry anything (he needs his  hands  to  help  steer).  Maximum  speed  is  equal  to prevailing  winds,  or  15  miles/25  kilometers  per  hour in calm air.

​

** The  vampire can  make  a  running  takeoff  and carry 20 pounds/10 kilograms while flying. Maximum speed is 30 miles/50 kilometers per hour.

​

*** The  vampire can  make  a  straight,  vertical takeoff if unencumbered, or can make a running takeoff carrying up to 50 pounds/25 kg. Maximum air speed is 45 miles/70 kilometers per hour.

​

**** The vampire can now make a vertical takeoff with up to 50 pounds/25 kg of baggage, but can carry up to 100 pounds/45 kg while flying. Maximum speed is 60 miles/95 kilometers per hour.

​

***** The  vampire can  now  carry  up  to  200 pounds/90  kg,  easily  enough  to  carry  away  an  adult person (or vampire). Maximum speed is 75 miles/120 kilometers per hour.

Further dots in the Discipline add 100 pounds/45 kg of weight and 20 miles/30 kilometers per hour to the speed.
