Strategic vs Tactical flight. Lava and deep water.
In my opinion, strategic flight is uninteresting. A gear check to gain treasure is dumb. If you can kill the monsters on the level, you should get the items.
Tactical flight: You can use flight to gain an advantage in combat against monsters. Examples include:
Move over normally uncrossable terrain, where most monsters will be unable to follow you.
Fly over shallow water, where many monsters will be penalized in combat, but you won't be.
There is a spell that does less damage to flying players.
That's a short list, but at least it is interesting, and has potential.
I'll put my suggestions in the next post.
