You are practical and level-headed, but due to your different perspective on the world, other birdfolk see you as quirky or unsettling. Your unique insight allows you to connect with the humblefolk who live under the forest canopy in ways perch-dwelling birdfolk cannot.[\/quote]\r\n[h1]Features[\/h1]\r\n[li][b]An Odd Bird[\/b][\/li]\r\nAmong birdfolk you are somewhere between an oddity and an outcast. Some consider your aversion to heights a rejection of birdfolk culture, leading many to find you off-putting.

You can always recall the general layout of the terrain around you while traveling along the forest floor. If your path is ever blocked by an obstacle that requires you to climb or otherwise gain height to circumvent it, you can always find a way around, so long as such a path exists. Additionally, you are adept at finding shelter in the Wood while traveling, and can usually locate a suitable safe shelter (a cave, a tree hollow, or bramble thicket) somewhere on the forest floor for you and up to five other creatures.\r\n[h1]Suggested Motivations[\/h1]\r\nBirdfolk who are grounded often find ways to cope with their aversion to canopy life. Some have completely forsaken their old lives in favor of new ones in undergrowth communities, while others keep ties with family and friends in the perches where they were born.\r\n[br]\r\n[spoiler][table][tr][th]d8[\/th][th]Personality Trait[\/th][\/tr][tr][td]1[\/td][td]I always second guess my choices.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]2[\/td][td]I have learned to not let the comments of others affect me.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]3[\/td][td]I\u2019m eager to show the benefits of my unique perspective.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]4[\/td][td]I\u2019m slow to trust someone new, but open up over shared hardships.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]5[\/td][td]I manufacture difficult situations to prove my abilities.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]6[\/td][td]I get embarrassed easily, even when someone tries to compliment me.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]7[\/td][td]I will deny my fears to everyone.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]8[\/td][td]I want to see how others handle situations I\u2019m afraid of.[\/td][\/tr][\/table]| Trait[\/spoiler][spoiler][table][tr][th]d6[\/th][th]Ideal[\/th][\/tr][tr][td]1[\/td][td]Adversity.
