In dnd, I want to be able to fly. While spells work, these are temporary. When I read the raptoran abilities I thought: Hey, a flying PC race, just what I want. Oh wait. WTF!? You can't even fly until 5th level? So we have a winged race, whose given activities, culture, and everything is based around flying, and they don't fly until 5th level. Apparently once you hit adult age you get kicked out until you reach lv5, then you can come home.
I like how they spread out the flight over time, but a flying race must fly at 1st level, failing that it should work like the feats in RoD that increase your flight ability.
So, I want to give raptorans full flight at 1st level, but with only an LA+1 and I present these ideas:
Grant flight at 1st level, and continuous flight earlier. I was thinking 5-8 hit dice would be a good place. LA+1?
Allow the raptoran to take a feat to gain flight earlier. Maybe have it give you your flight abilities x levels sooner, and at the normal 10 hit die give a bonus to speed or maneuverability. I was thinking +2-5. No adjustment, cause you spent a feat.
Grant flight at 1st level, then require a feat for continuous flight. This represents the fact that they can all fly, while allowing for some to not actually build up their flight ability. Put a 6 hit die prereq on it. LA+1?
So, tell me what options you guys like, and if LA+1 is good.
