Humanoid Avian Race?

[Ragology]

I think SE would be more willing to add races that didn't fit the Miq'ote mold if

1) Roe's were the popular race of choice
2) Player's didn't mind clipping

Maybe if SE stopped putting so many collars on chest plates or redesigned hair to go around collars if they insist on putting so many collars everywhere or at least add an option to hide collars.

Regardless, things will always clip but if your clever you can get around that.

I'm all for a new race in 5.0 but... not an avian one (aren't the Vanu this?). The problems begin with the word 'go'. For starters, players are going to want wings no matter how practical (probably why the Vanu are being ignored). Secondly, they are going to want those wings to work. This creates an imbalance between the races, something Square has been bending over backwards to prevent since 1.# given how there's barely a 1-2 stat point difference between what races we have. Now me, I think I'd rather a more bestial race but then they'd have to reconcile that the female of it wouldn't be cute and... they seem to have problems with that.

And again, why 'is' that bad? Who cares about balance when it comes to something cool? Why would giving them the ability to fly be a bad thing? I wouldn't care, as long as they had to do everything else other players have to do to be able to fly and cannot fly in no fly zones who cares?

You can give the females and males a longer face. For example the harpy look would do well for them, they could still "look cute" but are still monsters.
