Tengus are used to being minorities and facing suspicion wherever they travel, so by necessity many possess a knack for languages as well as for blades. They live on the fringes of society and tend to flock toward less-than-legal occupations, earning them their reputation for being streetwise and unscrupulous—a label that, in turn, perpetuates the tengus'' oppressive cycle of discrimination and illegitimate work. Although humanoid, tengus have very distinct, birdlike features, and many would say that they resemble crows more than they do humans. They have strong, thick beaks, as well as sharp talons at the ends of their arms and legs. Most of a tengu''s body is covered in small feathers that range in color from dark brown and midnight blue to glossy black, with lighter colors being rare but not unheard of. Like many avian creatures, tengus have hollow bones, making them much lighter than other humanoids of their size, although few tengus possess the wings necessary to fly naturally. A tengu''s speech might be punctuated by quick clucks or throaty cawing, and many tengus practice conversation diligently to rid themselves of these involuntary ticks. Ruf ing of the feathers and compulsive, jerky movements of the neck are other trademark habits. Tengus reproduce by laying eggs: the average tengu egg is about 11 inches in diameter and 16 inches tall and takes 4 months to hatch. Tengus are a people in diaspora and are almost always found within larger kingdoms and communities of other races. Perhaps because they are more visually distinctive than most other humanoid races, tengus tend to be distrusted and persecuted more often than, for example, elves or dwarves. As a result, tengus tend to gather in close-knit social groups composed of other outcasts and people of uncommon ancestry. Few true tengu communities exist, and those that do are often exiled to ghettos and other forgotten city quarters. From an early age, tengus learn that the world is not a friendly place and that they must look out for themselves. **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 16' hp: 27 hp_misc: null items: - rapier - shortbow - studded leather armor languages: - Common - Tengu - plus two others level: 2 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d6+2 type: piercing name: rapier to_hit: 10 traits: - deadly 1d8 - disarm - finesse - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d4+2 type: piercing name: beak to_hit: 10 traits: - finesse name: Tengu Sneak perception: 6 ranged_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d6 type: piercing name: shortbow to_hit: 10 traits: - deadly 1d10 - range increment 60 feet - reload 0 saves: fort: 7 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 10 ref_misc: null will: 4 will_misc: null senses: - low-light vision size: Medium skills: - bonus: 8 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 6 misc: null name: Athletics - bonus: 7 misc: null name: Deception - bonus: 5 misc: null name: Diplomacy - bonus: 5 misc: null name: Society - bonus: 8 misc: null name: Stealth - bonus: 8 misc: null name: Thievery sources: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: '310' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 25 misc: null type: Land spell_lists: null traits: - Humanoid - Tengu
