Soooo... This picture has a sorta funny origin.

In our D&D group, I brought up my gripe with the fact the Lepidora have a walking speed of 25ft, and it didn't seem quite right.
It resulted in a rabbit hole of two other members discussing the balancing of the race, if it really deserved the 25ft. One said Flight was powerful and it needed the nerf, while the other said that flight is only powerful for DMs who are not anticipating it.

Eventually our DM entered and saw from both sides. He then brought up that this race's flight was actually brutally nerfed... Like, the race can only infinitely fly if they are carrying less than 4lbs, and they cannot wear medium and heavy armor otherwise they cannot fly at all. I was given the option to either increase the walking speed, or get rid of the 4lbs thing.
From what I knew, the armor limitation was actually a nerf made specifically for infinite flyers, not limited flyers. So I decided to drop the 4lbs thing and our DM agreed with my reasoning.

My character still has a walking speed of 25ft, but at least he can now infinitely fly with a flight speed of 35ft. :3

Eventually I wanted to draw my boy again, but I didn't know what to do... Till I remembered the whole discussion and decided to draw Elliot in flight.

Also, if you're wondering how good of a paladin Elliot can be without even medium armor, we play by "Kryx's House Rules" and they added a little thing for clerics and paladins to help them step out of the heavily armored knight stereotype.
Elliot has an AC of 18 at level 1, wielding only a shield.
