Winged Races

[Tuki Tuki]

What are all the winged races in 3.5? I have only found a few and they are disappointing.

What are all the winged races in 3.5? I have only found a few and they are disappointing.

Well, let's get started...

Avariel [+3 LA]
Raptoran [+0 LA] Needs to be lvl 10 before actually flying for reals
Half Dragon [+3 LA] Needs large size to get the wings
Half Fiend [+4 LA]
Half Celestial [+4 LA]
Every Mephit Ever [+3 LA]
Hengeyokai Sparrow [+0 LA] Spelled Wrong probably
Pixie [+4 LA]
Grig [+3 LA]

[Hyena]

There are kestrels (LA +2) from Bastard and Bloodlines, but I believe it's a third party book. But I must admit, halfling-harpy hybrid is pretty awesome.

[BowStreetRunner]

Dragonborn with the Wings draconic aspect.

[Tuki Tuki]

Im looking for more of a humanoid with wings kinda thing
The la max is +2
Kestrial was not what i was looking for at all

Then your only options (As far as I know) are Avarials and Raptorans. Both have a level adjustment of +0.

Or the Winged template from Savage Species, which as a level adjustment of +2.

Edit: Actually, Races of Faerun puts the avarial at +3 level adjustment. not +0.

Taking a look at the Lists of Stuff (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19871954/Lists_of_Stuff), there's also:
Shifter w/Swiftwing trait, Races of Eberron, 20' (average)
Aarakocra, race, Races of Faerun - 90' (average), LA+2

[Divide by Zero]

Half-Fey (Fiend Folio) also gives you flight for +2 LA.

[gooddragon1]

Savage species anthropomorphic bat. It's animal mixed with human-ish. You could be batman.

Wait what?

[Draken]

Your best bet is the Winged template. It gives fly speed, +4 Dex, +2 Wis and is at a serviceable +2 LA.

[Vertharrad]

Well, let's get started...

Avariel [+0 LA]
Raptoran [+0 LA] Needs to be lvl 10 before actually flying for reals
Half Dragon [+4 LA]
Half Fiend [+4 LA]
Half Celestial [+4 LA]
Every Mephit Ever [+3 LA]
Hengeyokai Sparrow [+0 LA] Spelled Wrong probably
Pixie [+4 LA]
Grig [+3 LA]

Avariel and 1/2 Dragon are LA+3

This thread made me read shifters again, and now I hate the designers again. "Hm, this thing seems cool. Better limit it to few uses per day and have it be short in duration. We can't have our players be cool, now could we?"

[Daftendirekt]

Raptoran or Dragonborn with the Wings aspect are your only non-LA choices. Do you want feathery wings or draconic wings? That's pretty much your option.

[Sgt. Cookie]

Not really, Daftndirekt, all the sub-races in Dragon Magic (Silverbrow Human, Forestlord Elf, Fireblood Dwarf, etc) are able to take the Dragon Wings (And later Improved Dragon Wings) feat(s). Your fly speed only kicks in at 12th level, however.

[Namfuak]

Races of Faerun (page 167) has "Outsider Wings," which is an Aasimar/tiefling feat. Lesser versions of the races could presumably take them for LA +0, but they require celestial bloodline or fiendish bloodling respectively, so it's a bit of a feat tax. Those particular feats were reprinted in PHBII, so I would assume you would use that version of the feat rather than the one in Races of Faerun.

Avariel and 1/2 Dragon are LA+3

Don't forget that you need to be a large sized half-dragon to get flight, so you need a minimum +1 LA large sized race like half-giantogre to gain the flight speed. Unless there is +0 LA large race with no RHD kicking around that I don't know about...

Edit: At least I assume that's why it's listed as a +4 by gooddragon1

Also there is always the petal from MM3. Fly speed 60, tiny, and fey for +2 LA, no RHD.

[Greenish]

Don't forget that you need to be a large sized half-dragon to get flight, so you need a minimum +1 LA large sized race like half-giant to gain the flight speed. Unless there is +0 LA large race with no RHD kicking around that I don't know about...Half-giant is medium. Aside from a few Dragon Mag templates, true Large size tends to require LA +2 or more (or eating RHD).

Or, well, goliath barbarian.

[Agent 451]

Opps. Was looking at half-ogre.

Thanks for mentioning the large raging goliath barbarian, Greenish. Now I have the mental image of a half-dragon goliath barbarian who can grow wings and fly, but only when raging!

Petal is listed as "Level Adjustment: +2 (cohort)" which generally means that they're not well-suited as a PC. Which in my experience means: Check with your DM first. Which further means: If you're doing crazy optimization, the answer is no; if you're looking for cool flavor and are unoptimized, then maybe.

Half-Minotaur could also work. I imagine you could combine the flying with your gore attack for great effect.

Wait what?

You missed one.

[Greenish]

Thanks for mentioning the large raging goliath barbarian, Greenish. Now I have the mental image of a half-dragon goliath barbarian who can grow wings and fly, but only when raging!For maximum effect, you'll want to play a half-dragon muckdweller (Serpent Kingdoms) Stoneblessed (Goliath)/Barbarian (With goliath sub levels).

Congratulations, you're now a Tiny creature that grows into Large size and spurts wings when it rages.
