[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 7548889, member: 6788732"] I just read the wikipedia page. This could be worked into their backstory: The kea nests in burrows or crevices among the roots of trees. Kea are known for their intelligence and curiosity, both vital to their survival in a harsh mountain environment. Kea can solve logical puzzles, such as pushing and pulling things in a certain order to get to food, and will work together to achieve a certain objective. They have been filmed preparing and using tools. This makes me think that Intelligence and Dexterity would be their ability score increases. Perhaps they are the expert crafters of the region and receive 1 of a selection of artisan tools. I'm not sure how I would convert their ability to solve logic puzzles into the game other than an increase in intelligence, though getting the Investigation skill for free might represent it. Something else I think of, although not a mechanical trait, if you've seen Empire Strikes Back (I've come to realise that I can no longer assume that people have watched the star wars movies), the scene where Yoda is going through all of Luke's gear looking at things and throwing things around, that would be a kea. Explorers from other lands could wake up to find their campsite getting pulled apart by Kea who are looking at everything. [/QUOTE]
