The chiropteran were first created by chimerists in Avalir during the Age of Arcanum. Most of the hybrid species created in Avalir were sterile across all specimens, making it difficult for these chimerists to achieve their goal-- creating a humanoid chimera capable of procreation. The creation of the chiropteran marked a pivotal point in chimerism, since they were the first humanoid hybrids able to produce offspring. 

Chiropteran Traits

You have the following racial traits.

Age

Since the chiropteran were created from bats and a variety of humanoids, you may follow the life span guidelines of any other humanoid race when determining your character's statistics.

Size

You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race.

Creature Type

You are a Humanoid.

Speed

Your walking speed is 30 feet.

Blindsight

You have blindsight with a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn’t behind total cover, even if you’re blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature, unless the creature successfully hides from you. You cannot use your blindsight if you are deafened. 

Flight

As a hybrid species of humanoid and bat, you have wings which begin at your underarm and go up to your wrist. Thanks to your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can’t use this flying speed if you’re wearing scale mail, half plate, or any heavy armor. You also can't use this flying speed while making use of any item which you must wear on your upper arm or forearm. You can still wear bracelets and other wrist accessories. 

Hybrid Hands

As a hybrid species of humanoid and bat, both your hands are missing two digits-- the ring finger and little finger. These digits have been elongated and relocated to become limbs to help articulate your wings, which run all the way up to your wrist. As a consequence, you have disadvantage on any Dexterity check to use tools.
