Aerial encounters, rare and special scenarios, require a bit more imagination than a standard land based encounter. Whether travelling on an airship of some sort, wandering the lands of a cloud giant or seeking wisdom at a celestial’s aerie, creating encounters in the sky generally comes with the assumption of a higher level. Dragons, wyverns and the like come to mind.
This doesn’t have to be the case. Further, encounters originating from above can be applied to any environment where space is available. Consider urban rooftops, open plains, mountainous regions and open seas as other viable locations for an aerial attack. Massive caves and canyons could also be perfectly suitable locations for such encounters. Additionally, combining lower level foes in an interesting way can create memorable encounters.
Aces High is written with an airship in mind, but feel free to change the location as you need. Anywhere with space for flying creatures to attack from above is suitable.
