Small / Avian / Biped
Description
Typical cawmore are between 100-130 cm tall, have a set of large wings that can span up to 3 meters wide, two birdlike arms and legs with 3 fingers on their hands and 3 toes on their feet. They have dark black, to blue black, to purplish black feathers covering their entire body. Their large expressive eyes can range in color but are most commonly yellow, orange, red and blue.
Society
Independent Society
The Cawmore believe in personal growth through trial and error and most members of their society are fiercely independent, preferring to rough it out rather than take charity in any form. That being said, Cawmore are excellent parents and do their best to teach their hatchlings everything they know before sending them off to learn from the world and its harsher lessons.
Travelers and Nomads
Due to their ability to easily travel and a seemingly innate need to try new things, Cawmore are commonly seen living their lives on the road, never settling in any one place for too long. Many Cawmore enjoy rich, varied lives as traveling traders, messengers, couriers and mercenaries for hire.

Crowvids
Crow-like Cawmore Sub-Species
Small / Avian / Biped
| Average Height | 80 cm |
|---|---|
| Average Weight | 20 kg |
| Lifespan | 35-45 Years |
| Age of Adulthood | 12 |
| Attribute Modifiers | +2 DEX or +2 INT |

| HP Die Type | d6 |

Description
Crowvids greatly resemble their Crow-like ancestors and share their dark plumage and small pointed beaks. They are smaller then their Ravenid cousins but their body shape is almost identical. They have two large, feathered wings and a pair of small arms that rest just under their wings. They have large fan-like tails and dark colored avian legs and feet with four clawed toes.
Traits
Dark Coloration
The dark plumage of all Cawmore makes them more difficult to spot in darkness. Grants +2 to Stealth Skill Rolls made in dark or dim lighting.
Hollow Bones
The downside of the ability to fly is the lightweight and easily broken bones of a bird. All Cawmore are vulnerable to Blunt Force Damage but are capable of true flight.
Abilities
Winged Flight
You gain a fly speed equal to your movement speed. Every Minute(12 Rounds) of Combat Flight causes you to lose 1 Stamina and you cannot rest while flying.
Sustained travel Flight causes you to lose 1 Stamina every hour.
Having one or more of your wings wounded causes you to immediately lose the ability to fly until recovered. Being knocked prone while flying causes you to fall until you are able to use 3 meters of movement to “stand” and resume flying.
You cannot Fly while wearing Heavy Armor.
You can carry 1 small or smaller creature while flying.
Increased Space Requirements: While walking requires only as much space as your character occupies to continue movement, Flying upward or horizontally requires an additional Meter of space on any one side of your character. Smaller spaces do not allow your wings to flap and provide lift. If you are traveling downward during your flying movement then the above rule does not apply.
Beaks
All Cawmore have the distinctive plumage and beaks of their birdlike ancestors. A threatened Cawmore is much more likely to peck, rather than throw a punch.
