Raven Aarakocra are about 6-7 feet tall. They have thin, lightweight bodies that weigh between 90 and 120 pounds. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Flight
You have a flying speed of 50 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor, and you have to get light armor tailored which cost half the price of the armor.

Your talons are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Visual obscurities such as fog, heavy rain or snow do not affect your ability to see. Ultravision allows you to see the aura of magical items, spells or enchantments up to a range of 60 feet and can identify the school of magic used, if in daylight it might be too bright to see the aura from magic items, spells or enchantments.

Posted Mar 9, 2023Hey my friend,
This is really cool, but it is not currently working. You wrote out all of this in the description but didn't add it to the code by creating it in the bottom tabs. As is right now, you would have to create the entire character sheet by hand to play this race.
