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.

You have a flying speed of 60 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor.

Your talons are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

You can speak, read, and write Common, Aarakocra, and Auran Elvish.

Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 2.

Aarakocra Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.

You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.
