Are kenku useable in Golarion?

[vampirehunter42]

I do hope I am asking this in the right area.

I was about to run a quick play test of Shadow in the Sky, and when I got to creating my rogue character I was looking at the 'kenku sneak' mini. And after a quick build of the character with the 'Fools for Friends' talent, I quickly fell in love with him. Come on a +4 to aid another with skill checks.

But I have yet to hear anything on them yet (they are not OGL are they). But that has never meant they are not around.

Thanks

Kenku are unfotunatly not OGL. That doesn't mean you can't have them in your game though.

But since they're based off karasu-tengu, maybe we'll see a some kind of write up when/if Paizo does a book on Minkai.

Well, technically, since you're running it, you can do what you want. Officially however, I am of the opinion that Golarion was not created with non-Paizo races outside of what's in the SRD.

To reiterate my main point: you're running it, do what you want.

Happy Gaming

I'd say kenku would work fairly well in Riddleport; make them native to Minkai, but there are large populations in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, where there exist enclaves of powerful kenku diviners. they tend to live in the shadows of other races, like halflings, but are far more sinister

Tack on a +2 to int or wis (your choice, but I'd say Int) and they're perfectly balanced.
