====== Floating ======

{{:abilities:floating.png?nolink }} A **Floating** unit hovers a set distance over the ground; they generally can't change this distance (unless they can [[Flying|fly]]), but still. This provides a number of curious advantages:
  * They can **cross Rivers**, as if they can [[Swimming|swim]]. Unlike with the Swimming trait, though, this doesn't boost their performance [[underwater]].
  * They **ignore terrain penalties to [[Combat Speed]]**, such as from snow on the ground or the quagmire of Swamps.
  * They **automatically evade many offensive [[Earth]] spells**, such as:
      * ??Earthquake?? (but not the falling stalactites in [[Caves]])
      * ??Earth Grip??, ??Earth Meld??, and ??Maws of the Earth??
      * ??Earth Sense??
      * ??Earth Attack??

{{ :nations:ma:bandar_log:rishi.png?nolink}} Floating is not a particularly common trait. ??Ghosts?? have it, the ??Rishi??s of [[bandar-log-ma|the Bandar Log]] have it, and jellyfish (as shown in the trait icon) have it. Fortunately, the trait can be applied by [[Air]] [[Enchantment|Enchantments]] and a specific Air [[Bless]].
