@JeremyECrawford If I Incapacitate (Hypnotic Pattern) a flying creature unsupported by magic/hover, does it crash to the ground?

A flyer falls if its speed is reduced to 0 and it isn't hovering or being held aloft by magic (PH, 191). #DnD https://t.co/Asbr2NjzjX

@JeremyECrawford Does incapacitate qualify? An incapacitated creature has no movement actions, but its speed isn't specifically changed to 0

Being incapacitated doesn't immobilize you. #DnD https://t.co/gxHlMyVk4D

@EdKruze Going back to your original question, hypnotic pattern does reduce your speed to 0, so if you're flying, the spell can drop you.

Can a character with flight speed (winged aasimars, avariels, or winged tieflings) stop their fall as a reaction if falling of a cliff or into a pit trap, while walking?
