This Artifact grants you.
Used by Alan Hawkins, Created by Monday.
On Legendary Artifact Paragon Suit.
( You obviously have wings while flying. You must wear or wield this Artifact plainly to receive these benefits.)

The user holds onto their cape and channels their spirit through it, allowing them to fly through the air like many iconic superheroes. As they fly at higher speeds, motion lines and an occasional 'whoosh' may trace behind them to indicate their trajectory.


You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

As long as you are conscious, you are immune to falling Damage. Additionally, you may glide as you fall, traveling 35 feet horizontally for every 10 feet you fall. While gliding, you fall at a minimum speed of 10 feet per Round.

You may ascend into the air and fly using your cape. You require 10 feet of clear space on all sides to fly. You may add 50 feet to Movement you take while flying.

You are subject to the following effects while gliding or flying:

  • Ethereal Wings: Your cape can no longer be damaged, destroyed, or receive Battle Scars.
  • Look Ma, No Hands: You can't use any equipment which requires the use of your hands.
  • Earthbound: You cannot fly or glide in an atmosphere thin enough to be unbreathable.
  • Cargo Carrier: You may use this Effect even when over-encumbered and may move at a minimum of 5 feet per Round with Concentration as long as you are below your lifting and hauling capacity.

  • Any penalties to dice or movement, including from Encumbrance, are applied as normal. If your movement is reduced to 0 due to encumbrance, you will begin to sink down to the ground.
  • You may activate this Effect while in midair, allowing you to slow and survive any free fall.
