DR1
Feathers
Tail
Tetrachromatism
Gluttony (12-)
Callous [-5];
Restricted Diet (carnivore); Short Lifespan 2; Wild Animal
Peripheral Vision
Penetrating Voice
Ground move penalty of -3.
Temperature Tolerance 1 (heat)
Let's say eyes as good as an eagle's. If we just assume 4-8 times better, means cancelling a 3-5 in range. 5x better is 4 levels. So can do Acute Vision/2, Telescopic Vision/2.
Striker (tail; crushing; long +2; cannot parry; extra weak)
Top speed of 80mph, but that might be part of a dive...so that's like 24 yards per second, top speed of 40 yards per second...
So basic speed is 6 (13 and 11 dx ht), so flight speed is 2x that, which is 12. Want to be able to move 38 = 77 mph. Which is 1.5 levels of enhanced move (12x2x1.5) = 36.
Perfect Balance (winged, -10%, from panoptesv)?
Gripper/2
Increased Endurance/2 [10] (see this).
Skills: Brawling - 15; Climbing - 14; Intimidation - 10; Jumping - 15; Stealth - 15; Survival - 12; Tracking - 15; Wrestling - 15
Claws (Talons)
Foot manipulators, ham-fisted/2
Susceptible to airborne poisons
Flight (Winged)



  1. Panoptesv says extra weak for -100%, but this limitation is missing... ↩︎
