Though I'll probably add the large size aspect to thet feat <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. Basically you can "buy back" a lot of your penalties with feats in this set up.On not being able to fly with a heavy load:I see one passing mention of it in the description of speed in the monster manual. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for this rule? I wanted to reiterate it so the Gull's Grace feat had an immediate hook.On the long, but not unlimited duration of flight:I think it's a tragic statement about the game that if "it's not a limitation in combat, then it's not a limitiation" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />. I would never track hours of use for combat purposes. The point here isn't about the combat utility of the race - this line tells me a lot about their culture. They can't fly all day! No continuously flying patrols without large enough numbers to have lots of shifts. And more importantly for PCs, you can't use your flying rate for overland travel...On being effectively a Large-size target with your wings spread:I'm not really sure how you make Hide checks while out in the open (in three dimensions no less), but I'll add the text... What would be nice is if size actually effected spot checks from a distance. You ought to be easier to spot comming than a human-size mage with a fly spell going......Huh. Allarin Shadowdancers would be rather weird...On the penalty to spell casting while flying:*rummage-rummage* Hmm. Yes, those rules look promising. I'll work that in. Thanks <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Hmm. How would you interpret both conditions going on? Two checks?In the increased damage of bludgeoning weapons:It's never going to -not- bother me to make a statement that is categorically untrue. You do not "double" the damage from crits by increasing the multiplier by one ((x2 to x3 is not "doubling" to me). As I've seen various effects that "increase the multiplier by 1" I'm much more comfortable with that wording that relying on the the mathmatical cludge of running two multipliers together (x2 + x3 = x4 ~ not x6) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Just warming up. Once they're being matched to a setting, I might change some more. This is a pretty generic "I'd like to be able to fly at low levels, and not break the game" build.</blockquote>
