I'd have to agree with that. Vanganth is just the 'best flyer.' Hmm. I wonder how one could reflect the natural flying in HW? Just take that 'you can fly' ability at 5w as a 'freebie' and one of your boosted abilities?

One secret to a customer. At least as far as gods/aspects/subcults are concerned.
