| An [[:Mechanic:Entity]] with the [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] [[:Mechanic:Condition]] has opted out of the current [[:Mechanic:Encounter]].

| While under the effect of this [[:Mechanic:Condition]], [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] are effectively neutralised for the remainder of the [[:Mechanic:Encounter]]. This is largely a narrative option for [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] that do not wish to suffer the negative consequences of repeated [[:Mechanic:Trauma]], [Malfunctions] and [[:Mechanic:Injury|Injuries]]. How this [[:Mechanic:Condition]] is applied and appears is both personal and contextual, you and the other [[:Mechanic:Player|Players]] may deem it [[:Mechanic:Appropriate]] that when your [[:Character]] reaches 0 [[:Character:Rating:Strain]] from repeatedly [[:Character:Exhaustion|Exhausting]] themselves, they simply pass out and collapse on the spot. The same scenario may result in your [[:Character]] panicking and bolting for the nearest exit. Both examples are possible and it is up to you and the other [[:Mechanic:Player|Players]] to determine [[:Mechanic:Appropriate]] outcomes and actions an [[:Mechanic:Entity]] in [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] might take. | While under the effect of this [[:Mechanic:Condition]], [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] are effectively a non-participant for the remainder of the [[:Mechanic:Encounter]].

| Should the [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] [[:Mechanic:Condition]] be removed, through means such as the [[:Mechanic:Basic Ability:Mettle]] [[:Mechanic:Action]], the affected [[:Mechanic:Entity]] may immediately perform one [[:Mechanic:Action]]. Then during the next [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order:Environmental Step]] they must perform an [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order:Initiative]] [[:Mechanic:Test]], with the [[:Mechanic:Dice Pool:Total]] determining their new position in the [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]]. | Should the [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] [[:Mechanic:Condition]] be removed, through means such as the [[:Mechanic:Basic Ability:Mettle]] [[:Mechanic:Action]], the affected [[:Mechanic:Entity]] acts in the same manner as any other [[:Mechanic:Entity]] joining the [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]].

| This section provides additional information for using [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] during play. It expands on the rules with advice, examples and context to help you make informed choices about what [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] can do, what an [[:Mechanic:Entity]] in [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] may look like and how [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] operates in a campaign. It also provides in-universe context, but does not introduce additional mechanics.\\ | This section provides additional information for using [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] during play.
