Where can you see the "better flyer"? I is that somewhere under draconic forms and I can't identify it?
You mean this:Pseudodragon has Flight (good). Shadow Dragon wyrmling has Flight (poor). This refers to the maneuverability.
Huh, Handbook is telling me Shadow should have Average flight. You got Poor from the source?Pseudodragon has Flight (good). Shadow Dragon wyrmling has Flight (poor). This refers to the maneuverability.
You mean this:
Speed: 15 ft. (3 squares), fly 60 ft. (good)
and this
Speed: 80 ft., fly 120 ft. (average)
?
Quick question, if we are attacked whats our options for defense?
Is it possible to change straight from one draconic form to another?
Bad Guy sees something in the size of a flying cat above him. Horned Felldrake falls on his face. (And it might count as a charge)
If we did the math/acceleration equations could we influence the amount of damage dealt by our falling on them?A Pseudodragon cannot vocalize a language thus you cannot cast Alter Self in that form.
A Shadow Dragon does have a spoken language so you could fall on your enemy like that, though it would not count as a charge.
If we did the math/acceleration equations could we influence the amount of damage dealt by our falling on them?
Just to be clear, we're on a planet like earth, yes?Sure why not?
Bludgeoning damage by falling draconian creature.
There is something I did not anticipate.
Alright. We fall at 9.8 per second, weigh as much as an average pony so about three hundred pounds, or 136077 grams, and let's assume that we're three seconds above them.

If we landed square on the average man's head we'd break his neck, which would start going at about 62 meters per second. For anything short of a tank, we'd be going at sufficient velocity. If it's human, then it dies.
Or, to put it another way, there's a reason why they used horse corpses (and other things about that size) as trebuchet ammunition, and it wasn't because they were drunk.
This is from three seconds up, by the way.
