[Fayd]

Aren't the Air Genasi a race, not a creature?

[Temotei]

Aren't the Air Genasi a race, not a creature?

I'll just merge the races section into the creatures section. It's easier that way, since you can technically play as anything if your DM allows it. :smallamused:

[arguskos]

The Elemental Archon PrC can be tied to Air. Source is Faiths and Pantheons.

[Dracons]

Holy **** that is a huge list.

[Ilmryn]

The Elemental savant from complete arcane, although since it is energy-focused, a savant of air has more to do with electricity than actual air...

[Temotei]

Holy **** that is a huge list.

There have been bigger lists of mine, though this is pretty respectable, considering.

[Coidzor]

Stormsinger?

[FirebirdFlying]

Stormcaster, from Stormwrack;
Air Shugenja, in name, anyway, from Complete Divine.

Pathfinder is welcome. :smallcool:

[Ashram]

Pathfinder is welcome. :smallcool:

Excellent.

[Greenish]

Prestige Class: Sharn Skymage (Sharn - The City of Towers pg. 165)

[Edit]: Prestige Class: Storm Sentry (Dragonmarked pg. 124)

[Temotei]

Does anyone know which book downdraft is from? The Wizards site got it wrong with Spell Compendium.

[Gralamin]

Does anyone know which book downdraft is from? The Wizards site got it wrong with Spell Compendium.

It's in my spell compendium. Page 72. Has a Dragon on it.

[Greenish]

Does anyone know which book downdraft is from? The Wizards site got it wrong with Spell Compendium.Looking at Spell Compendium pg. 72 at the very moment, I'm pretty sure Downdraft actually is there.

[Edit]: Curses, I have been foiled!

[Icewraith]

Ring of Elemental Command (Air) DMG

[Draz74]

A (Greater) Pectoral of Maneuverability item (from Draconomicon) has the same effect as the Improved Flight feat, so I suppose it would qualify for this list.

[Temotei]

It's in my spell compendium. Page 72. Has a Dragon on it.

Huh. I must have skimmed over it. I'll look again.

Found it. Huh. Thanks, guys. :smallsmile:

[Adumbration]

I think the Bird version of the Animal Lord might qualify.

[Keld Denar]

lololololololololololololol
Zhentarim Skymage
lololololololololololololol

If you read it, you'll understand. Lords of Darkness.

EDIT: Available pets for a Zhent Skymage. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8035428&postcount=6)

Core options: (and skipping very poor options)
Dragons - if you're a small-sized race like a gnome, then the very young dragons might be worthwhile.
4 HD - Giant Eagle. Not many choices at this HD. Large.
4 HD - Gargoyle. Great melee tank/damage at this HD. Large.
5 HD - Ogre Mage. Ride on the shoulders of your ogre friend! With regeneration, SR, Change Shape, and some spell-likes, he's an all-around good option at this HD. Large.
6 HD - Cloaker. It's large, strong, flies well, and has a ton of crowd control abilities (can knock prone and nauseate, or hold monster, or panic opponents, or grapple). Plus it will look like you're flying with a huge cloak.
6 HD - Succubus. Much like Nale in OOTS, you can have a kinky minion very easily. Medium
6 HD - Manticore. One of the few ranged attackers you can get early on. Large
6 HD - Nightmare. One of the classics for a reason. Awesome flying, good defenses, and lots of mobility. Large.
7 HD - Griffon. Just a typical bruiser. Large.
7 HD - Wyvern. A large dragon at this HD is nice; strong poison, grab attack, and good feats.
10 HD - Vrock. Telekinesis, greater teleport, and mirror image at will, and it's a monster in melee. Large.
12 HD - Yrthak. Another ranged attacker, and blindsight is nifty.
12 HD - Astral Deva. Unlikely to work with you since it's good-aligned, but has a positively amazing list of spell-likes, Change Shape, and stunning attacks.
14 HD - Nalfenshee. A tank. Huge.
14 HD - Planatar. Unlikely to work with you since it's good-aligned, but absolutely crazy - casts as a 17 cleric, with great spell-likes to boot.
15 HD - Cornugon. An amazing melee monster with a fear aura, automatic stunning attacks, a huge AC, DR, regen, SR 28, and good feats. Awesome. Huge.
18 HD - Pit Fiend. Like the Cornugon, but even better. Huge.
20 HD - Balor! Generally the ultimate goal, but very difficult to achieve. Huge.
22 HD -Solar! Unlikely to work with you since it's good-aligned, but Solars are insanely powerful if you can get one.

Any HD: Half-Fiend, Half-Dragon, Vampire (all grant wings). Technically you could have a vampiric half-fiend ogre at 3HD, but that's venturing into dangerous territory.

Non-core: (Monster Manuals only, skipping poor options)
4 HD - Desmodu Guard/Hunting Bat (MMII). Both have blindsight - the hunting bat has trip and a great attack bonus, the guard has wounding, spring attack, and better HP/Dmg. Large.
4 HD - Advespa (MMII). A minor devil, standard traits for them. Large.
5 HD - Grell (MM II). OMG, Grell terrify me. Just look at them. The big draw here is 10 attacks/round with it tentacles, each with a chance to paralyze. Medium.
6 HD - Half-Fiend Gnoll Warlock (MM IV). Medium. Probably not that great, but I love the idea of it.
7 HD - Ambush Drake (MM III). An alternative to the wyvern - it's smaller and gets a breath weapon. Medium.
7 HD - Marresh (MM II). A ranged shooter like a gnoll. Medium.
9 HD - Amnizu (MM II). Quickened Fireball 3/day and Feeblemind touch at will. Medium.
10 - Zovvut (MM II). So-so, but it doubles as a wight factory. Medium.
12 HD - Kelvezu. 35 AC, 8d6 sneak attack, other nice stuff. Good roguish pick. Medium.
12 HD - Arcanaloth (MM II). 12 HD demon that casts spells as a 12 sorcerer. Several awesome at-wills, including shapechange (!!). Medium.
13 HD -Gray Linnorn (MM II). Here's a broken choice. Casts as a 17th level cleric (!), Shapechange 3/day (!!) along with other abilities, DR 15, SR 31 (!!!), and has a breath weapon, melee, and blindsight 120ft. Huge.
15 HD - Steelwing. (MM V) Gets a 15d6 ranged attack every 1d4 rounds, fast healing 15, DR 15//adam, 5d6 dmg aura, auto-miss chance on it, high AC, and a 17-20 crit range. It's pretty crazy for a non-caster. Large.
16 HD - Malebranche (MM II). It's like a pit fiend without the spell-likes - very scary. Huge.
17 HD - Rakshasa, Ak-chazar (MM III). It's like having a pet dread necromancer. Medium or large?
19 HD - Concordant Killer (MM IV). Sort of like a neutral Solar. Several quickened SLAs and deadly weapons.
20 HD - Dread Linnorm. Very powerful - A dragon that casts as a sorcerer 18 and has an energy draining bite, as well as two 12d6 breath weapons. Colossal.

[Morph Bark]

Vampire template grants wings? What?

[hamishspence]

15 HD - Cornugon. An amazing melee monster with a fear aura, automatic stunning attacks, a huge AC, DR, regen, SR 28, and good feats. Awesome. Huge.
18 HD - Pit Fiend. Like the Cornugon, but even better. Huge.
20 HD - Balor! Generally the ultimate goal, but very difficult to achieve. Huge.

How are we getting Huge specimens of these? Does Skymage upgrade their sizes? In 3.5 they are normally Large.

[Keld Denar]

Not my list, check the link...but yea, you are right.

Page 23, last I checked.

[thompur]

Holy **** that is a huge list.

Dracons, I don't mean to be picky, but there are 4 asterix after 'Holy'. but 'Cow' only has three letters. How are you spelling 'cow'?

As to the list, It's an impressive collection, and timely for me, as I am in the midst of creating a campaign in which part of the milieu is completely Airborn. I'm trying to figure out how to create racial variants that live in the air as 'normal races exist on the ground. This is extremely helpful. Thank you!

[Temotei]

Page 23, last I checked.

That's much more available, so I'll note it as in the Spell Compendium. I don't like to source more than one book.

Storm Lord, a prestige class from Complete Divine (pp. 65-67). Although it's not very good.
