Unsurprsingly, not everyone seems to agree that they suck.

I agree with you. I really don't see the point with these boring new PC races; but maybe someone does.

The only thing that comes to mind is... Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird Man!


However, that said, I'm drooling over the Lost Empires book.

Great! Let's make crappy new races and devote a third of our new books' content to them.

Make a new race..devote a page or two to them for goodness sake and THEN maybe if they catch on print volumes on them.

I really liked Goliaths and Illumians. These...eh, I've never liked winged characters. You lose a bit of the POINT of adventuring. GETTING THERE. But, stats wise they look cool, a good idea.

Funny. I hated the Goliaths and Illumians, but I've got a remote spot on my world that I was looking to put a militaristic, flying sentient species. I've been toying with Aarakocra or Kenku, but neither really fits the bill. I don't like the elemental connection or the name "Raptorians", but the race might fit into a niche I've been looking to fill.

That said, I still think these guys would been a bad addition as a major race.

Look at me! I've got a special ability that makes it easy for me to... do stuff completely seperate from the party! Being a loner is the best fun ever!

Ooh, maybe an AU Oathsworn Raptorian.

I'm sold.

Read it again... at 1st level they can only glide, not fly. At 5th level they can fly for only a number of rounds equal to their Con modifier, or twice this long if they are willing to become Fatigued. Not until 10th level are they able to fly at will, and by then, many other characters can already do that. A Wizard has his Fly spell long before that...
