    Default Phaerimm maneuverability?

    So I'm plotting out an idea for a setting where Phaerimm are a key race, and I've run into a pretty basic problem: what's their flight maneuverability?

    LEoF 188 states: "Flight (Ex): Because a phaerimm’s body is naturally buoyant, it can fly at a speed of 30 feet.This buoyancy also grants the creature a permanent feather fall effect (as the spell) with personal range."

    The flavor text reads: "An immense, conical creature floats in the air ahead," implying that they have good maneuverability at the very least (ability to hover). Does anyone know for sure, though? Am I missing something?

    Thanks

    I'd say it's the same as the beholders'; the text seems to mimic that of the beholder entry.

    It should say in the statistics block next to its fly speed.

    In 3.0 they had good.

    Not sure if it got changed in 3.5.

    Celestis, you're right, it should. But it doesn't even mention that they HAVE a fly speed there!

    "Aberration
    Environment: Underground
    Organization: Hatchling, juvenile, and young adult: solitary or
    clutch (2–5); adult, mature adult, elder, and revered elder:
    solitary, pair, or hive (3–6 plus 2–8 offspring)
    Challenge Rating: Hatchling 1; juvenile 5; young adult 9; adult
    12; mature adult 15; elder 18; revered elder 21
    Treasure: Double standard
    Alignment: Usually neutral evil Advancement: Hatchling 2–3 HD; juvenile 5–6 HD; young adult 8–9 HD; adult 11–12 HD; mature adult 14–15 HD;
    elder 17–18 HD; revered elder 20+ HD
    Level Adjustment: Hatchling +2, juvenile +3, young adult +4, adult +5, mature adult +6, others —"

    Weird. Seems a silly oversight. Particularly given the Phaerimm's historical significance in FR.

    Lhurgyof, thanks, that seems a fair point.

    3.0 they had 10-ft land speed, 30-ft (good). They also didn't have age categories.

    That's the age block. The individual ages should have detailed stat blocks.
