“Let’s be honest. You didn’t pick them to walk everywhere” Me: part of my back story is I lost my wings and I’m playing a artificer so I can learn to build new ones...until then I’m walking everywhere
@DallyDooG2 жыл бұрын
Damn thats exactly what I want to build. A aarakroca, lets call it Dally, thats been captured by a Dwarf wizard that collects exotic species. The dwarf installed some shit on the wings that controls it so he wouldnt trash about in his cage and make noise. The device (or magic idk) also controls when the wings open, so when the dwarf have any visitors, he can display the birds glorious wings. After an incident that let Dally escape his cage, he jumped out of a window in the wizards tower only to find that he cant fly and fell on the sea, washing up ashore after many days. Not knowing where the tower is, his goal is to build a new mechanical wing that lets him fly, free any animal that has been caged and to have his vengeance against the dwarf.

I recently made a peace cleric aarakocra based around them losing their wings in their backstory, so they try and help keep peace and heal all they come across whenever they can, cos they don't want anyone else to go through losing something similar to the loss of his wings.
@swanskababa5152 жыл бұрын
I still think the best way to make Aarakocra balanced in the early game is to limit their flight in combat until 5th lvl. You may be able to fly but flying while casting spells or holding a weapon takes practice

I don’t know anything about D&D when I started my first campaign with my friends. I came in on their second session with a character I cobbled together with little understanding on how the process actually worked. My first character ended up being a sooty owl looking Aarakocra Druid/Fighter whose introduction included killing off half the board in two moves. She ended up having the highest kill count in the party and earned the affectionate nickname, “blood bird.” I used barn owl screeches as sound effects and she also liked to dye her feathers to make herself appear to be drenched in blood. I unintentionally created an OP demonic-looking murder monster but boy was she fun to play.

How do Aarakocra feel about Kenku? I have an idea to play an Aarakocra born with almost entirely black plumage who was abandoned by their flock as a child because they assumed the child was similarly cursed. I haven't seen anything that indicates this as implausible but no idea if that's outside the realm of possibility. I know Aarakocra flocks are small and that losing a member is a big deal so maybe that could have been something done by one parent or even an aunt/uncle who thought they were doing what was best for the flock and lied saying they were killed/taken. Thoughts?
@Filean2 жыл бұрын
I had the exact same idea for my now lvl 7 Aarakocra Ka. He has black plumage that is not attractive for females, got abandoned by his flock and his wings were permanently damaged. This way I couldnt abuse the flight in combat. I would guess that Aarakocra pity Kenku, since they dont have wings to fly. I dont think they would be hostle towards them though.
