So I tried experimenting with a profile shot. It didn't turn out amazing. Also, onomatopoeias. I might not use those all the time. Also, @fortis, google had no idea what a gryfalcon was. Gyrfalcon was the next best thing, so I went with that. You might want to change your race description to 'magical'. Talking falcons strike me as pretty magical. Incidentally, designing the stats for birds isn't the easiest thing. But we go on.

Something I forgot in the first update that might become relevant at a point in time: the material the weapons you use to attack with influence how much damage you deal. A wooden staff isn't going to do as much damage to a human in plate armor as say a broadsword.


Spoiler! :
@Lumi's shield bash knocks two berries down on the ground.

@Reisepiecy, from your vantage point, you are able to observe some of the ground to the left. Same for @Meandbooks.

@Morrigan the bird says: "Food! Food in the trees, food in the ground, food is good. There are large animals that humans and other animals call food to the left."

@queerelves you grab the plant's roots, which you know to be edible, if bitter.

@AlexSushiDog spawns as Alex, with a staff. Your talents are:


Talent 1

Sweep: provided you act first in combat, you may choose to sweep the enemy off guard, negating their next action. If it connects, the attack does no damage.

Talent 1

Scrap Brawler: you are inventive in combat, and deal more damage with improvised weapons. Unarmed, you can grapple, preventing foes from taking an action as long as they remain bound.

@Auxiira you manage to spear a berry on your umbrella spike.

@Tuesday you notice bulging plant roots, but you're not sure if they're edible.

@SpiritedWolfe, you grab two berries from the tree. Same for @lostthought.

@fortis spawns as a Gyrfalcon. Your talents are:

Talent 1

Sentience: you understand languages (the ones you’ve been around often enough to practice). Somehow, you are able to articulate words. Your charisma is also comparable to a human’s.

Talent 2

Falcon’s Grace: while clearly not as strong as a human, you are hard to hit, and your sharp eyes make it so it is easier for you to hit. You’re fast, but need lots of food.


@BiscuitsBatchAvoy, you miss. There are now 19 arrows in your quiver.
