I like the Kenku, I like the picture drawn and I like the options when playing them.
But, if you want to go purely by the rules as written no Kenku can be a spell caster. A Kenku cannot speak on its own, it can only mimic sounds it has heard.
So it cannot cast any spell it has not heard another spell caster cast. A Kenku also cannot read any magic scroll aloud unless it has also heard another read the exact same scroll.
I assume most people do not think about this flaw or if they do it is merely hand-waved away.
Opinions?
