In the Player’s Handbook, it says that opportunity attacks are not provoked by a creature that is falling out of another creature’s melee range. However, when a creature is flying, it could theoretically just stop flying and instead fall, potentially out of another creature’s melee range.
Can you fall prone while flying?
If a flying creature is knocked prone, has its speed reduced to 0, or is otherwise deprived of the ability to move, the creature falls, unless it has the ability to hover or it is being held aloft by magic, such as the fly spell.
Is it safe to dismount from a flying mount?
They can fly up to you, dismount from their mount and attack you while falling but I don’t think they can get you off your mount so should be safe to leave your character high up, unless they repeat their action several times and eventually kill you (if they can avoid death from falling to the ground).
Do you have to move a carpet of flying?
However, the consensus is that a carpet of flying does not require your Action to move, but rather to activate. The spoken directions you deliver to it are not an action, but something you can do in your turn without spending any resources since: Your turn can include a variety of flourishes that require neither your action nor your move.
How does mounted combat work in real life?
With mounted combat, the rider isn’t moving, and still has access to all of their movement as part of a move action, though mounting and dismounting requires a large expenditure of total movement. If using the mounted combat rules as an interpretation, the mount itself would incur an attack of opportunity if it moves out of a threatened space.
Can you get motion sickness on a plane?
If you get motion sick or are afraid you might while flying, these tips can help. Because you’re flying through air currents, the flight will have a normal bumpiness to it. Different seats, however, may be bumpier than others.
