hovering?

Is it possible to make the player fly or hover?

Monsters that fly (Batty, Djinn) use the terrain="2" tag. Where/how would that be applied to the player?
Any examples?

 

Being polymorphed into a monster that flies (Batty, Djinn)

 

Cunning. I hadn't thought of that.
I could polymorph into a (custom) monster that is defined with terrain="2" and uses the player's sprite. Wait, I'd have to choose the gender of that sprite, because gender can't be queried in the game and is only set once. And lose any other skill-abilities.

 

You don't have the balance to use attacks/spells while flying

 

And you can make the polymorph very short both in duration than in cooldown, so you can fly just for a little.
