Homebrew Aero (2024 Rules) Species Details

Concept and art by Shenpai for the Birdhaven setting.

This species is intended for use with the 2024 5th Edition rules, where Backgrounds grant Ability Score Increases.

The Aero, known as the protectors of Theistea are human-like people with wings on their back. These range from different sizes and are the sole decider if an Aero can fly or not. These people are not familiar with technology, living a comfortable life in the mountaintops of BirdHaven and in other places that reach high over the world. From their young age they are taught in ranged combat, as well as having a Torubi companion that they are bonded with.
