In one of my campaigns, I have a character who isn't stealthy, and so the player asked the following.
" ((Hm, if Armeros uses his armor to cast levitate on himself, could he move silently if someone on the ground pulled him along through the air lol?)) " Just wanted to share, as I think this is a creative way to get around not being stealthy.
I guess I don't understand "uses his armor". Does his armor have the spell enchanted in it?

Eh, for me the answer would likely be no. The spell lets the levitated subject pull themselves along a fixed object or surface. A character grabbing them and trying to pull them along like a balloon would either exceed the weight limit (grounding both of them, clank clank) or not exceed it (in which case they'd both be suspended in the air for the duration.)

That's a fair point, but I want my characters and players to have maximum fun, and I believe that this is ultimately a good idea and that it should be 'rewarded'. I'm also not the kind to get that nit picky about weight. the fact is, Armeros himself doesn't exceed the weight limit, and I don't mind if the character pulling him make the weight equal more than the limit. Though to provide an actual argument against your case, not that the spell says 'If you are the target, you can use your action to move up and down'. Therefor, if the PC pulling them doesn't have the spell cast on them, and so aren't levitating on their own, Armeros can just keep himself low enough that the PC pulling him won't float away.
Given that the spell says "rises vertically up to 20 feet," it seems unlikely that whomever is pulling the rope would be in any danger, especially since rope is generally purchased in 50' lengths.

@MPA, I'm not sure when armour came into the conversation? Maybe I didn't completely read all the posts here though.
