[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6079290, member: 57383"] Neither [I]obscuring mist[/I] or [I]entangle[/I] seem very "birdlike" to me. I suppose [I]obscuring mist[/I] is the best of those as it's an Air spell. How about we derive something from their clerical duties and the spheres they have access to: "All bird maidens are kahina, idol priestesses who believe in the divinity of all things. They live as wandering teachers, protecting the land from those who despoil it. They get along best with those who respect the land: desert riders, mystics, and fisherfolk. In the fertile river valleys, they preach the faith and maintain the fertility of the land and livestock." "They have major access to the All, Animal, Divination, Elemental, Healing, Plant and Weather spheres and minor access to the Creation, Protection, and Sun spheres" They appear to have a general duty of healing/purifying nature, which suggests they must be able to perform magical healing - [I]goodberry[/I] or [I]cure light wounds[/I], etc - but that doesn't narrow it down much. Those divine magic spheres mostly have direct equivalents as 3E Domains: [B]Major Spheres => Domain[/B] Animal=> Animal Divination=> Knowledge Elemental=> [Originally this combined Air, Earth, Fire or Water. I'd likely make it Air only] Healing=> Healing Plant=> Plant Weather => Weather [B]Minor Spheres => Domain[/B] Creation => Creation Protection => Protection Sun => Sun Maybe we should set a prerequisite that it must have certain Domains? That would mean it would have to be a cleric though. Hmm, [I]speak with animals[/I] is a domain power of the Animal Domain, so we could combine that with healing/purifying. e.g. "A Bird Maiden must be able to cast a spell that can heal other creatures (e.g. [I]goodberry[/I], [I]cure minor wounds[/I]) and have the ability to cast at least three of the following spells: [I]bless water[/I], [I]bless weapon[/I], [I]calm animals[/I], [I]detect animals or plants[/I], [I]pass without trace[/I] and [I]purify food and drink[/I].
