Slow speed -1 rp
Standard 0 rp- + 2 dexterity, + 2 intelligence, -2 wisdom.
Standard- 0 rp- common, auran
Static bonus feat 2 rp- flyby attack
Skill training 1 rp- fly, appraise
Flight (good)- 10 rp
Total rp 11 rp
Ainè are small humanlike creatures with powerful insecoid like wings.
Ainè are fast while flying, and are incredibly athletic although their reliance on their wings leaves them slow while on foot. They are also quick learn new skills. However they are reckless in nature.
These small humanoid creatures are adept at determining an objects true value.
Ainè appear mostly humanoid or at least are as varied as them in appearance if not more so because Ainè are born with unusual hair styles and colors, occasionally their wings will be born colored as well while still remaining semi-clear. There is very little difference in the appearance of the males and females even heights remain similar hanging around 3`5 to 4`5.
Ainè are free spirits meaning they are often chaotic, very few become lawful. The concept of good and evil is varied among Ainè.
On the subject of religion Ainè venerate Desna and Gozreh most of all. Few follow Shelyn , surprisingly Caiden Caylean is not worshipped as Ainè prefer keeping their minds clear and bodies in physical perfection. This physical perfection leads some to follow Irori.
Ainè often fight amongst one another and as such societies of them are rare. Ainè in general try to get along with other races despite being warlike toward each other.
Ainè are often travelers, but the few settlements that exist are those built near the peaks of mountains and in forest canopies.
Their flight speed is 60 feet good maneuverability, and slow speed means base land speed is 20 feet. As humanoids they have no other senses because none are listed in the specs.
Although I have to ask would it be to much to add a vision to them?
That slow speed is their land movement, it's flavored that on the ground they move a lot slower. Races with flight start at 30 flight speed. Improving it to good maneuver increases their flight speed to 60 its also the reason they have very little else as a race. There are going to be times when flying isn't an option.
Timebomb is right about the flyspeed stuff. I would maybe take off the feat. I am always uneasy giving PCs monster feats, especially flyby attack (which replaces spring attack, but is EVEN BETTER as it lets you move only 5 feet before the attack and has no difficult prerequisites).
Alright then removing the bonus feat, all in all I'm keeping the land speed at slow. If only for flavor purposes, besides they don't benefit from it so its not much of an issue and with the fly speed thing it won't effect PCs. I only gave them the bonus feat to assist with the flavor as they fight a lot and a flight oriented combat helping feat seemed to fit.
Well, I would let them take it later maybe, but I think the race is well balanced enough when you take the feat out.
I don't think paizo would ever publish it (since if you look at the Strix, they clearly place a high value on low level flight), but I would definitely allow it at my table.
Well then good, thanks for the help. That's three races down three to go
