My DMs have always banned flying characters.
Is that common?
@Toes
Not what I'm asking. I'm asking for lore ideas, like why would the King have outlawed Orcs and put a Bounty on their heads.
But is is common for flying characters to be banned. Not sure why. Everybody can get a bow or crossbow, and there's no cover up there.
For me it's more about trivializing certain puzzles. Pretty much everything with a chasm gets reduced to "I pick up a rope and fly over there.". Sometimes, that's ok, but sometimes I don't want it to be that simple.
Well, life has gotten a whole lot simpler, since I stopped DMing DnD altogether.
