> What do you think would be a good temporary debuff for Twilight's initial flight ability? I ended up brainstorming a few mutually exclusive ideas in the process of this.
>
> 1. Her maximum height above the ground is limited to her move speed. Any higher and she falls back down to her limit at the end of her turn, making a roll to catch herself in mid-air.
> 2. When flying, she can't take actions more complex than At-Wills without losing her concentration. If she takes an Encounter or Daily action, she needs to make a roll to avoid falling.
> 3. Landing safely is never a guarantee. She can stay in flight as long as she is physically able, but when it comes time to land, she needs to make a roll or face (minimal) falling damage.

Transcript:
> DM: As an alicorn, you'll have a mix of earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn traits. And yes, that includes the ability to fly up to your movement distance. Though you might have a debuff for being so new to flying until you get used to it.
> Twilight Sparkle: That's fine. I don't think my ability to fly is going to make or break any boss fights. I'm okay being an alicorn-in-training.
> Applejack: So, Ah take it y' don't want us to call you "Princess" or "Yer Highness" or anything.
> Twilight Sparkle: Yeahhh, no. I mean… If other ponies want to call me Princess Twilight or whatever, fine. I've gotta get used to that. But not any of you. I mean, this happened because of your help, and our friendship. You're all peers to me.
> Pinkie Pie: So… Honorary Princesses? Woohoo! I'll be the Honorary Princess of Parties!
> Rainbow Dash: Sure, sure. Could you stop being so dang noble, at least? If you don't act at least a /little/ corrupt, I'm worried it's gonna rub off on me.
> Pinkie Pie: My first decree: AT LEAST ONE PERSON HAS TO HELP ME CLEAN UP AFTER!
> DM: Can I also make that demand?
