Welcome
Aven in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Planeshift Tarkir
Aven
Aven have humanlike bodies, arms, and legs, along with birdlike wings and heads. All aven have lean bodies with feathers extending from their heads down to their taloned feet. On Tarkir, aven are known to come in a variety of appearances. Those found in Clan Ojutai tend to have crane or falcon-like features. Falcon or vulture-like aven can be found within Clan Dromoka's family units. Finally, it is not uncommon to encounter vulture-like aven within the ranks of Clan Silumgar.

race features:
Flight. Because of your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can't use this flying speed if you're wearing medium or heavy armor.
Talons. You have talons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Wind Caller. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the gust of wind spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast the spell with this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of 2nd level or higher.
Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for when you cast gust of wind with this trait (choose when you select this race).
