Gargoyles possess a fourth in-clan Discipline, called Flight. All Gargoyles start with a free dot, and it can be increased like any other Discipline. As the Gargoyle gains dots of Flight, his wings grow in size, and he becomes capable of flying faster. Dots past 5 add 100 pounds/45 kg of weight and 20 miles/30 kilometers per hour to the speed.
A Brood of Unusual Size
Curiously, Kindred that aren’t Gargoyles have developed dots in Flight. While it’s unknown why this is, the mechanical reasoning is likely due to a lootbox.
Regardless if they’re a Gargoyle or not, anyone with dots in Flight can earn more on their own without a mentor, provided they’re practicing with their wings. These dots are purchased for out-of-clan costs unless the Kindred is actually a Gargoyle, or has taken the Additional Discipline Merit for Flight.
The character cannot actually fly, but can soar like a hang-glider. He also cannot carry anything (he needs his hands to help steer). Maximum speed is equal to prevailing winds, or 15 miles/25 kilometers per hour in calm air.
The character can make a running takeoff and carry 20 pounds/10 kilograms while flying. Maximum speed is 30 miles/50 kilometers per hour.
The character can make a straight, vertical takeoff if unencumbered, or can make a running take-off carrying up to 50 pounds/25 kg. Maximum air speed is 45 miles/70 kilometers per hour.
The character can now make a vertical takeoff with up to 50 pounds/25 kg of baggage, but can carry up to 100 pounds/45 kg while flying. Maximum speed is 60 miles/95 kilometers per hour.
The character can now carry up to 200 pounds/90 kg, easily enough to carry away an adult person (or vampire). Maximum speed is 75 miles/120 kilometers per hour.
