If the effective distance is less than 10 feet, you land on your feet. Trigger: You suffer a fall of at least 10 feetД®ffect: Reduce the distance of the fall to ВЅ for damage purposes. You catch the rushing air beneath your wings. Kindred Wings: You can use kindred wings as an at-will power Kindred Tactics: When you kill a creature, you gain a +1 racial bonus to attacks until the end of your next turn. Kindred Fury: When youвЂ™re bloodied, you gain a +1 racial bonus to defenses You have a +3 proficiency bonus to attack and inflict 1d4 points of damage.

Kindred Claws: Your claws are not improvised attacks for basic attacks and powers with the Weapon keyword. Skill Bonuses: +2 Athletics, +2 Intimidate Stoic, loyal defenders born of stone and tested by time Basically it's a good encounter-starting move for a character with a high Strength score for it's ongoing damage alone. Rending Strike as a 7th-level encounter power was kind of iffy as it was patterened after the rogue's 5th-level daily Deep Cut, but since ongoing damage requires two successful AC attacks and the non-ongoing portion of the damage is likely to be lower for Rending Strike I thought having the opportunity to use it 2 to 3 times a day instead of once wasn't overpowering. I eventually settled on two since the claws are basically daggers that can't be enchanted and don't tap into any class's dagger-dependent mechanics so the average 1st level character would do better with a weapon than a kindred using their claws.

I hemmed and hawed over whether having claws as a natural attack meant they should have one or two other racial benefits besides their wings. I tried using the dragonborn and dwarves as a yardstick, as they fill similar niches as those races. With the turning to stone understandably dropped, we're left with a defender-focused race with wings for gliding and claws. Below is my attempt to render them as a 4E race. The main characters were gargoyles - a race of winged humanoids that were guardians by nature and turned into stone in the sunlight. For those not in the know, Disney's Gargoyles cartoon aired back in the '90s.
