Homebrew Falca Species Details
Background
Falca typically live in isolated areas, with villages built in the trees, or in caves, secluded from crowded society. Falcas bodies are naturally built to be birds of prey, but many decide to limit their diets to fruits and vegetables, understanding the position of having characteristics of animals that many species eat. Falca are genetically predisposed to being lighter with their high metabolism and flight capabilities, but many have strong muscles due to the physical strain of flying. While Falca are a generally peaceful species, their talons, wings, and canines have intimidating effects on other races.
Falcan societies typically find comfort outside of the public eye. Due to their bird-like characteristics, Falca were and still are hunted down by poachers and sold as a delicacy or pets, despite their mostly humanoid features.

Bird Eyes
Falca have expertise in perception because of their incredibly keen eyesight as a bird of prey
Darkvision
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Creature Type
You are a Humanoid.
Size
Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your walking speed is 30 feet and flying speed is 45ft.
Flight
Because of your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed and a half. You can’t use this flying speed if you’re wearing medium or heavy armor.
Wings, Talons, Claws, OH MY!
Depending on the Falcas size, attached to their back are beautiful wings that come in black, white, brown, and more. Where fingernails would be found on humans, sharp claws take their place, and where feet would be, talons. Many Falca take pride in sharpening and caring for their claws and talons.
You have claws and talons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
