Used: Use a custom Player Tool Feat for "Fly"

Would be nice to fly without the funny animation.

Currently, the Feat for Flight (obtained via reincarnation) is busticated.... so it's there, just on the to do list

Were you actually able to fly with the tool? That would be neat in of itself.

The spellbook of flight works.. so I'll guess that the tool-widget (for winged races) uses the same (on-item-activate) script so that it likely works too.. I must say I for one like the "launching into the air / landing on the ground" animation...

What's wrong with the animation ? ... Why do you think it looks "funny" ?

But yes the re-incarnation flight feat is itself still busted...

i think the "funny" animation is the "activate item" animation played before the flight. that might be gone if the custom player tool would be used

Ah ok... having NOT actually played a winged subraced PC yet, I could see how that looks funny for something your PC is suppose to do "naturally".... my experiences with flight come from the spellbook and the Cloak of the Bat ((both you need to "use" for flight))... ... (yet to try out the Eagle bow - but I hear that has some issues.. I know MJ made a post of it.. but I just can't find it... it's possibly staring me in the face though.. .. )... (and I think we all seem to know the PC-Reincarnated feat has issues too)... ..

I always imagined it as the character swinging their arms forward and then back when "jumping up into the air".

The "flight" function as a player-tool would be nice though. One less bit of inventory clutter, and perhaps it could also allow reincarnated/ascended PCs to use their "flight" ability.
