Natural Flyer

While your wings are not strong enough for true sustained flight, you can propel yourself through the air in short bursts.

You have a flying speed of 35 feet. If you end your turn in the air, you immediately descend safely to an unoccupied space on the ground within 5 feet of your current location. If no such space exists, you fall.

Whenever you use your flying speed during your turn, opportunity attacks against you are made with disadvantage until the start of your next turn.

Your flying speed decreases by 5 feet after each consecutive turn in which you use it (35 ft., then 30 ft., then 25 ft., and so on). This reduction continues until your flying speed reaches 5 feet.

If you spend a turn either:

• Moving only with your walking or swimming speed, or
• Not moving at all,

your flying speed resets to 35 feet at the start of your next turn.
