Teleport-walking?

AHA! Ta much, that sorts that one out. 5 yards is one level (-10%), 2 yards is two levels (-20%)... I'd allow 3 yards as "one and a half levels" I suppose (-15%) if I were really determined to get to that number exactly

Flight doesn't take limitations to slow it down - cannonically you buy down your Flight Move at -2 per Move. There is a point where this turns totally pear-shaped, and if I had my druthers, 5th ed will patch that problem by making reduced Flight Move a limitation like you thought it was :)

Walk on Air has the problem of requiring an atmosphere, which Flight and teleportation do not.

Definitely a good "Sanity check". I always feel a little dirty modifying something so fundamentally when there's another advantage that seems to be closer to the concept to start with :/

Oh, aha - THAT works.

OK, that's a lot of holes filled in with official or at least less-unofficial patches, AND a benchmark to compare to in order to confirm things aren't totally off-the-wall.

I'll make another post recalculating stuff!
