Knightfall
World of Kulan DM
Overland Flight, Swift
Transmutation
Level: Brd 4, Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Duration: 1 hour
This spell functions like overland flight (see p. 259 in the PHB v.3.5), except as noted above.
@Tellerian Hawke:
This would be the new spell that would be basis for Angus's ring, if we go with the idea that he can activate it as a Swift Action 1/day. This would limit him to travel with a speed of 40 ft. for one hour. That would allow him to fly with Average Maneuverability for 4 miles, or he could hustle for a total of 8 miles as per the overland flight spell.
If you prefer to have the ring work exactly like overland flight, then activating the ring is a Standard Action 1/day. That means Angus can't charge the flying dragon-griffon. In fact, he would only be able to activate the ring and then fly to the creature. He would not be able to attack it. We could say he activated the ring last round, but that would put him back to his original initiative order, which I'd rather not do.
Note: While this restriction would make his initial flight to the island to meet the PCs problematic considering how far it is from the coast, but we can simply rule that he was able to run part of the way due to low tide.
