Flight maneuverability and the hover feat

[eyebreaker7]

Am I correct in assuming any creature with a fly maneuverability of good or perfect can hover? Or do they still need to take the feat as well?

[Gruftzwerg]

yes, you are assuming correct. You don't need the feat to hover (or as requirement for other things depending on hover).

look at the Maneuverability (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/movement.htm#tableManeuverability)table

Dang. Sorry about that. I looked at that table but missed seeing hover even though it's 2nd in line??? duh me! Thanks :)

FYI, the Hover feat was mainly written so that big dragons (and other large flying creatures, I suppose) could cheat the maneuverability rules and hover in mid-air despite never having a decent maneuverability rating.
