Using a Glaive's Reach and the Totem of the Egale you can move up to 100ft and attack without triggering Opportunity Attacks? Am I reading this right?

Sure shooting a bow as an Arakocra is cool, but why fire an arrow when you can turn yourself into a missile?

Dont forget grappling! Grab someone and fly straight up, then drop as a free action. You aren't leaving their reach, so no OA. And when they take fall damage they are automatically prone, so your friends can dogpile them on the ground.

Lol, that reminds me of those birds that drop crabs on rocks to get at the soft bits.

We've got a Birdbarian in our group...think she's only using PHB stuff as she's still figuring out the system.

The best way of playing this would be as an Ancestral Guardian. Ancestral Guardians play best when they can avoid being hit, and, well, you have Reach and Flight, so...have fun.
