Fly

To Fly is to traverse the airs as a bird, be it by the power of wings or some other mechanism.

In some game presentations (particularly those optimized for playing with miniature models of characters and creatures without reference to a game board or grid), the move, swim, and fly speeds for various denizens of Fairyland might be listed in terms of their length or space. For example, a dragon's fly speed listed as length x 3 can move a distance on the game board equal to three times the physical length of the miniature model representing it. Other examples of potential values might be 'length', 'length / 2', 'length x 2', etc.

For another example, a winged humanoid character might have it's fly speed listed as space x 10, meaning it can move horizontally in the air roughly ten times as far as it takes up when standing on the board (ie. it's own breadth or that of it's base).
