Homebrew Half-Kenku Species Details

In most cases, the union of a kenku with a human proves to be impossible, or, even worst, very catastrophic. The birth of an half-kenku can only happen when a human naturally blessed by magic mates with a female kenku. In those almost miraculous cases, when the magic of a human Sorcerer is strong and wild enough to imprint to the body and essence of his kenku lover, a birth of a new being becomes possible, but still, very unlikely. In most cases, the mother dies during birth-giving, the child is born dead, or both.
