Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice improves by 2 and another by 1.
Age. Raptors reach maturity around 20 years. They can live longer than any other birdfolk race, over 100 years.
Alignment. Raptors tend towards neutral alignments. Preferring the path of naturalists and hunters, raptors rarely see value in order for the sake of order, and are often more pragmatic than idealistic.
Size. Raptors are lean, muscular hunters, but they stand less than 4 feet tall. Their light builds usually lend themselves to bodies that weigh far less than one would expect for their height, averaging around only 35 pounds. Your size is Small.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Glide. Using your feathered arms, you can slow your fall, and glide short distances. When falling you can use your reaction to spread your arms, stiffen your wing feathers, and slow your descent. While doing so, you continue to fall gently at a speed of 60 feet per round, taking no fall damage when you land. If you would fall at least 10 feet in this way, you may fly up to your movement speed in one direction you choose, although you cannot choose to move upwards, landing in the space you finish your movement. You cannot glide while carrying heavy weapons or wielding a shield (though you may drop any held items as part of your reaction to spread your arms). You cannot glide while wearing heavy armor, or if you are encumbered. Upon reaching 8th level, you gain a flying speed equal to your base walking speed when not wearing medium armor, heavy armor, or encumbered.
Talons. Your sharp claws aid you in unarmed combat and while climbing. Your damage for an unarmed strike is 1d4 piercing damage. Additionally, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks made to climb any surface your talons could reasonably grip.
Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Woodland Hunter. Your accuracy allows you to treat three-quarters cover as half cover and half cover as no cover.
Hunter’s Training. You have proficiency with the longbow, short bow, and spear. Additionally, your familiarity with the longbow means that it is not considered a heavy weapon for you.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Avian.
