In my opinion, Thera is its own world, with its own set of "natural/magical laws." The premises of our ooc reality do apply in most all non-magical cases to an astounding degree considering we're dealing with a text based game. That said, if you consider your questions in light of how a real eagle/falcon or tiger/ram/lion would measure up you'll probably come to a conclusion thats fairly close to how the forms interact in CF.

> 1)Can they Flyto any person, any place, like the nightguants do? Or does the person have to be in the general area as the muter.

Can a RL bird fly to anyone anywhere?

> 2)While flying around are they in their own 'special zone' above the land? Or can anyone see the forms in their imediate sqaure until the form 'comes down'?

When a bird is in the sky, what can it see, and where can it land?

> 3)How do they compare as an offensive threat to Offence Majors?

Its apples and oranges, and other circumstances as well...both types of forms pose a threat, but you might as well ask how a thief and an assassin compare as offensive threats.

> Any opinions on Air and Offence Forms would be appreciated.

Before playing an air major I played an offense major. You should decide which fits your role better, these two groups of forms are really well balanced in my opinion and their characteristics mirror their real life counterparts as closely as can be expected in Thera.
