Homebrew Kenku(edit) Species Details

Kenku is typically known as a half-raven, but in the past few hundred years, they have become more of a bird-person race. Most Kenku cannot fly, despite the scattered wing feathers on their arms. Those who can fly have to wear light armor and can only carry 35lb.

Flight

In order to fly, you have to be wearing light armor, or you are at a disadvantage and your speed is decreased by half

Mimicry

You can mimic sounds you have heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds you make can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Deception) check.
