Aarakocra are a race of intelligent birdmen who live among the highest mountain
peaks. Halfway along the edge of each wing is a hand with three fingers
and an opposing thumb. This hand cannot grasp while flying. Males of this race
are more colorfull with feathers ranging from red to yellow while the females
have brown or gray feathers. The Aarakocra live in small tribes throughout the
world.
The talon attack may only be used when flying; the beak attack may only be used
on the ground. Aarakocra often use spears or other thrown weapons with their
feet while flying.
These creatures are valued as couriers in all nations; attacking one wearing the
gold sash of the courier corps (even if he is employed by the enemy) is
not done, as this would lead to loss of courier support for the attacking
nation. Aarakocra couriers are virtually immune to bribery or coercion,
but sometimes a bold general may use magic to render an enemy courier
unconscious so his bag can be tampered with. Aarakocra couriers are almost
always males.
Aarakocra in general are puzzled by Humans, and the feeling is mutual. They
laugh (chirping) at jokes that Humans find incomprehensible. However, many
Aarakocra do trade or otherwise consort with Humans as it is often mutually
beneficial.
