Is there a high limit on how high the Tenser's Floating Disk will fly?

Question

Is there a high limit on how high the disk will fly? If i'm on it and use a move action to go "UP" how far will it go before it refuses to go any farther? I did not see any mention of high limits other than within 5 squares of you.

Answer 1

The disc always floats 1 foot off the ground.

The rules say:

You create a slightly concave, circular plane of force that floats a foot off the ground and can carry what you lay upon it. The disk is 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch deep at its center. It remains stationary unless you move more than 5 squares away from it, in which case it moves with your base speed once per round until it is within 5 squares of you. You can command the disk to move up to your speed as a move action. If you are more than 5 squares from the disk for 2 consecutive rounds, the disk disappears, dropping whatever it was carrying. ^{DDI (emphasis added)}

• If you fly up, you will eventually move more than 5 squares away from it.
• At that point, it will move as close as it can to you.
• But since it remains only one foot off the ground, it will just hover directly below you.
• If you remain in the air more than 5 squares away from it for 2 consecutive rounds, the disk goes away. Poof.

The rules do not say what happens if you summon a disc while already flying.

There are multiple interpretations of the first sentence quoted above.

1. The disc is created below you at a point one foot off the ground.
2. The disc is created nearby but immediately falls until it is one foot off the ground.
3. The disc cannot be created because it must always float a foot off the ground.

Frankly, I'd go with #3.
