Windwalkers learn to shape the winds with their hands and ride them to lands as yet unseen. Those who walk this path in the forgotten realms often are followers of the deity Shaundakul, known as "The Helping Hand" and "Rider of the Winds", a god of traveling and travelers, exploration, caravans, the wind, portals, and portal-walking as well as mining and miners, in other settings similar deities would be fitting of those who walk this path and wish to honor the source of this gift. Most are simply rangers or multiclass clerics, some bards and sorcerers also multiclass into this class, but rarely do any other classes attempt to walk this path.

Swift As The Wind

Windsong

7th-level Windwalker feature

As a bonus action, You can churn the air in a 30 foot radius from yourself, creating a droning, roaring noise that disrupts concentration and drowns out normal noise. Creatures within the area of churning air (except yourself) must make Constitution check (DC = 10 + 1/2 your ranger level, rounded down, + your wisdom modifier) to maintain concentration, to cast spells or perform any activity that requires concentration. Creatures within 60 feet of you are effectively deafened, although this deafness ends as soon as they leave the area or the windsong stops. The windsong also acts as a wind wall spell throughout its entire area, and functions as a countercharm (as the bard ability) for all creatures within the zone of churning air. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or silenced or if you voluntarily end it (no action required).

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
