Gliders consist of sturdy fabric stretched over a wing-shaped wooden frame (most often made of bamboo or other light wood). A harness and steering bar are mounted underneath the wings, allowing a single Medium-sized humanoid creature to fly the glider. A glider flies with a speed of 40 feet per round (Average maneuverability). A glider can be used to double move, but not to run or charge.
Gliders must begin flying from an elevated location. For every round that they fly, gliders lose 5 feet of altitude.
Skillful glider pilots can use rising air currents to increase their altitude. These currents, known as thermals, are either Weak, Moderate, or Strong. Weak thermals increase a glider’s altitude by 10 feet, Moderate thermals increase a glider’s altitude by 20 feet, and Strong thermals increase a glider’s altitude by 40 feet.
