A player character race of winged bird people, the Aarakocra have actually been a part of the game for most of it's history, dungeons and dragons roleplaying gamers have been swooping from the sky and hurling javelins with their characters since the 1980's.

When this video spoke about Air Elementals it reminded me of Raptorans. Essentially, Raptorans are more humanoid than the Avian Aracockra. Also, Raptorans are dependent upon magic to fly because when their wings are properly mature the Shamans of their flock have to summon Air Elementals to bless their wings in order for them to gain the ability to fly. Otherwise, the Raptoran would only be able to glide or control their fall using their wings.

I've always liked the Aarakocra. I recently had a player pick one for the Tomb of Annihilation campaign, unfortunately they died when tangling with a group of Otyugh. I did run across something interesting though, I often draw my players characters or NPC's from our games, and when I started to draw my players Aarakocra cleric the position of the wings was really starting to bug me. I thought it was strange they had these big shoulders, but that connecting them to the wings was such a pain and always looked wrong because their arms were always in the way. Particularly because the wings would need greater muscle access than the arms considering what they use them for. In the end I decided to make the wings dominant and place the arms lower on the torso and have them be somewhat weaker and controlled by the upper abdominal muscles. It ended up looking both stranger and more natural. Now when I look at creatures with the classic angel design they just look wrong.

We were all pretty new to d&d and path finder at the time. The DM said that the other characters and npc's would most likely assume the Tibbit to be a planes touched Halfling if they noticed an odd skin pattern or feline traits. I imagine Tibbits could be considered Were creatures, even though its the weave and not any other planes or viruses that have affected their genes. Or rather that's what our source material said. they er kind of strange in that they are cats that have the ability to change into a humanoid form.

My Hobgoblin monk was just slain in battle with a Green Dragon and the druid that reincarnated me rolled my race as Aarakocra. Toying with so many ideas right now, primarily the fact that I probably wont be able to speak (having learned to talk with lips and now i have a beak), I wont be able to fly until I learn how, I now only have 5 years of lifespan left (assuming i’m still 25 years old) and I probably have no idea what an Aarakocra is. Very interesting predicament for my character to work through, but the racial stat bonuses and talons perfectly work out for my monk class.

Good timing as usual, I was just looking up Aarakocra recently. The MM was kind of making it sound like they were more a elemental plane of air race, so I was thinking to put them with the relevant genie as on that plane. Any idea if they would be likely met in the prime material or the elemental plane? At least I know they like small shiny things, and females spend a lot of time crafting things out of simple light materials. Was then wondering if they traded for things of air elemental make that they could not make themselves. Them being lighter. But leaves me wondering where they gems from. Maybe raided from Earth elementals?

She is, Krocaa is a lesser god of theirs (from The article "The Wings of Eagles" by J.E. Keeping from Dragon #124 published August 1987) but, before the Aarakocra were created, the Aearee-Krocaa founded Viakoo on Mount Havraquoar in the west (Viakoo was the capital city of the Aearee empire. It was located south-west of Phwiukree, although where this corresponds to in modern times is unknown. So Krocaa may have been adopted by the Aarakocra as a divine figure, but this was back during the Dawn War, so details are sketchy at best.

That was 2 of AJs spelljammer vids, WebDM and MrRhexx spelljammer episodes. Dying in space i's covered in AJ's (if I am remembering correctly). Either way, the others give more perspectives on the space topic. I think it's they turn to stone when the spacedeath happens, or that's a common/fun house rule. That is, unless it's a campaign where that is part of it's angle/direction, and everyone has to be something like air genasi or have Power Armor (for example) from Lab of Kwalish release to be spacin-it.

I'm surprised anyone who can fly is allowed in YP because the might fly up or down the well without paying.

I recently got into DnD and wanted to create an Aarakocra rogue but my friend said they arent an "official" race, but instead are homebrew. Is that true?

@saeyabor 4 жыл бұрын
If he means that he wants to keep the game "Adventurers' League-legal" and there's currently no official player character template for them, he's right. But as for homebrewing it, uh... Wood Elf druid with a flight speed?

Well, you get a dex bonus with lighter armor types, if you have a high enough dexterity to have a bonus, it represents your characters reaction time, how fast they can either get out of the way or move to interpose their armor between themselves and the attack.

Limit the Duration of Flight, Mess with their Flight Speed or Ceiling, Limit it's uses per day, keep them airborne for only as many rounds as they have constitution to flap, make them flap with their arms and leave only their legs for actions and combat, make them practice how to fly so they can stop crashing into things... oh yes, and teach them a HEALTHY respect for fire spells... Fireballs do wonders on feathers.

Mate it's called Dungeons and Dragons. Dungeons inhibit flight and Dragons are the sharks of the sky. Make them well aware of the dangers of falling if they go unconscious. You dont need to add in all the artificial bullshit that other guy suggested. The game is supposed to be FUN after all

Do you want to fly in the sky? Need a Scout whose senses can put Legolas to shame? Don't want to express your inner Furry? You need an Avariel! Yes, these Winged Elves do it all! Natural Elven Class Progression leaves few questions as far as adapting your Avariel for gameplay, and their lack of Metal Weapons makes upgrading their gear both easy and cost effective (They're pretty, but Glass Swords like to break). Admittedly, they're not as sturdy as your standard elf but I like to think it's a small price to pay for the *Power of Flight*!!! So what are you waiting for? Place your order for an Avariel Today!!! AvarielElvesNotAvailableInFaerun. (Note: Avariel Elves have the shortest lifespans of Elfkind with exception of the Drow, thus Distributors are NOT responsible for premature deaths. Distributors are also not responsible for any panic attacks while underground, nor are they responsible for any freak outs next to fire, or hostility towards your party's mage for using fire magic.)
