Homebrew Gallus humblewood Species Details
A Varied Folk
The gallus are a varied folk, resembling as many different
varieties of wildfowl as there are trees in the Wood. Some are
pheasant-like, others are grouse-like, while some resemble
chickens or turkeys. There are dozens of variations of feathers,
colors, and patterns even between gallus of the same subrace.
The gallus are proud of their appearances but not to the point
of vanity. Maintaining good grooming is akin to keeping a
knife sharp and shows a level of respect for oneself.
Birdfolk are generally welcoming to other races, but the
gallus are particularly well-known for their willingness to
include virtually anyone in social or familial groups. In gallus
culture, it is customary to always offer your seat at a table to
guests. This is seen as the basis of a popular and hilarious chil-
dren’s story about a meal growing too cold to eat as the gallus
continually give up their seats to late arrivals at a party.

Most gallus are lawful good. They are a salt-of-
the-earth sort of folk who believe in justice, the value of hard
work, and the importance of respecting others.
Size
Gallus are the most varied of the birdfolk races, rang-
ing from just under 4 feet to just over 5 feet tall, and showing
many unique builds. The variety of shapes and sizes means
they also encompass a variety of weights, but most average
around 90 pounds. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Glide
Using your feathered arms, you can slow your
fall, and glide short distances. When falling you can use your
reaction to spread your arms, stiffen your wing feathers, and
slow your descent. While doing so, you continue to fall gently
at a speed of 60 feet per round, taking no fall damage when
you land. If you would fall at least 10 feet in this way, you may
fly up to your movement speed in one direction you choose,
although you cannot choose to move upwards, landing in
the space you finish your movement. You cannot glide while
carrying heavy weapons or wielding a shield (though you may
drop any held items as part of your reaction to spread your
arms). You cannot glide while wearing heavy armor, or if you
are encumbered.
Wing flap
As a bonus action, you can use your powerful
feathered arms to propel yourself upward a distance equal to
half your movement speed. You can use it in conjunction with
a regular jump, but not while gliding.
