Your albatross character has a variety of abilities that come with being the greatest of birds!
- Ability Score Increase: You know more than the rest of the world gives you credit for. Your Intelligence score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
- Age: Most albatrosses are considered an adult around 5 years old, though many don’t settle down until at least 10. Albatrosses usually live around 60 years.
- Alignment: You never know who might be friend or foe, wherever you go. That has led many an albatross to look after themselves first, though that doesn’t mean they’re out-and-out selfish. Chaotic good is more common than not, but you will still find neutral parties as well as some lawful types!
- Size: The average albatross has a body length of 3 to 4 feet, and their wingspan can easily be 9 to 10 feet total! Your size is considered Medium.
- Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
- Take Wing! Your dynamic soaring, zigging and zagging over the sea, and riding the air currents with a minimum of flapping, means you are the most efficient flyer in the avian world! You have a flying speed of 60 feet.
- Seabird: You know the sea inside and out. You have proficiency in the Nature skill.
- Sky Call: You albatrosses have the sweetest, softest voices—but then, all of a sudden, you can SCREECH like a monster! That sound carries, and if you don’t know to expect it, oh boy, it’s frightening! Once per day, you can unleash your horrible shriek, requiring all unfriendly creatures within 30 ft. to succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until they succeed on a subsequent check.
- You Don’t Want Me ‘Round Your Neck: The only good thing that came from That Song is that you can scare some folks out of attacking you. A number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier (with a minimum of 1), you can impose disadvantage on an attack roll being made on you as a reaction. You must declare that you are using this before the enemy attack on you is resolved. All uses are recovered after a long rest.
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and speak Albatross—a staccato language of gentle clacks, gasping whistles, and the occasional, horrifying screech, of course!
