I've never played D&D (or any pen and paper/tabletop RPG for that matter). I have some friends who might want to start a campaign soon and I have long wanted to try. So I've been looking into character types, races, classes etc.
I had a neat idea to play as an Avariel (winged elf) who's wings were poached at a young age. I'm guessing his parents would have been killed or taken prisoner. But my character ends up on the street as a thief. I realize this isn't the most original backstory, but I just like the idea of playing as a wingless Avariel. It's an inherently tragic character.
I've read that Avariel have hollow bones and delicate frames so they can fly and that they are extremely graceful in their movements. So it would seem logical that they would make a great thief or rogue or stealth type character if they didn't have cumbersome wings in the way.
I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone has any advice on this race or how to play it, what stats to go by, etc. Because there isn't a whole lot of information out there on Avariel. I've looked. Thanks!
