Homebrew Plaguewing Species Details

Plaguewings are humanoid crows, known for their dark and mysterious nature. They possess an affinity for healing and a connection to Light and Dark forces. Able to shapeshift into a Raven themselves, they always have an escape route on standby. They are intelligent beings and typically have a great bedside manner. By keeping themselves hidden, they practice medicine unseen by others. In other words, they're unsanctioned dark healers who won't snitch on you if you get hurt in a bad fight. Commonly found in areas with lots of crime, they use their medical expertise to keep to themselves, gain protection from the same criminals they deal with, and their secrecy is respected.
