Can Aarakocra fly DND?
Once airborne, an aarakocra leaves the sky with reluctance. On their native plane, they can fly for days or months, landing only to lay their eggs and feed their young before launching themselves back into the air.
Does Aarakocra smell?
Carrion Sense: Aarakocra have a natural ability to sniff out carrion. This functions like the scent ability, but only for corpses and badly wounded creatures (creatures with 25% or fewer hit points).
Do Aarakocra wear clothes?
Orcs, goblinoids, and Tabaxi are always seen with some form of clothing. Even Kobolds wear clothes (albeit only outside of their collective dens). Aarakocra might be able to get away with being bottomless but that’s iffy.
Do you have to be a flying bird to play aarakocra?
No fun active abilities, no proficiencies, nothing. They’re a flying stat block. You play an Aarakocra either because you want to be a flying bird person or because you want flight at first level and don’t particularly care where it comes from.
How does the aarakocra affect your flight speed?
The Aarakocra’s flight speed is affected by Unarmored Movement, so your already impressive 50 ft. flight speed continues to improve as you gain levels, making an Aarakocra monk among the fastest creatures in the game (at least in terms of speed; actual maximum movement gets messy). +2 str, +1 con or cha, and flight.
Can a aarakocra wear heavy armor and still fly?
Since shields are not considered medium or heavy armor, Aarakocra can use them and still fly. Yes, you can. The rules only state one limitation in this racial trait of the Aarakocra (emphasis mine): You have a flying speed of 50 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor.
Can a aarakocra fly in a thunderstorm?
Sure, the aarakocra could take to the skies, but with the incredibly strong thunderstorm going on, there’s a high chance he could be blown off course or struck by lightning while in the air. Is that worth the risk? Probably not. Point being, one party member being able to fly shouldn’t negate everything.
