Coastal

Coastal rito are visually distinguished by the color of their feathers, which is usually a pale brown, but can be a pure white in females. Unlike highland rito, they have separate "hair" on their scalps, which is usually of a brown or white color. A coastal rito is born with feathers and beak, but does not inherently grow wings. This variety of rito gains wings as a coming-of-age ritual performed in its early teens, which requires the direct magical blessing of either Valoo or another powerful supernatural being.

Fokka

Flightless rito, or "fokka," usually result from coastal rito who do not complete their coming-of-age ritual, but still age into adulthood. In some coastal rito tribes, refusing to complete this ritual is seen as sacrilegious. Regardless of why they are flightless, fokka are seen as inferior among other rito, and their inability to fly is considered shameful. Due to this disgrace, fokka have a tendency towards hate or other negative emotions, and are more prone towards evil than most rito. Despite their inability to fly, fokka retain the lightweight bodies of creatures adapted for flight. This, combined with increased leg strength, enables fokka to perform incredibly high jumps compared to most terrestrial humanoids. They are naturally faster on their feet, and have a particularly easy time adapting to lighter forms of armor.

Name Effects
Free Bird Through training and perhaps even physical transformation, you have learned to fly effortlessly. It is easy for you to rapidly switch between flapping your wings and using your hands even while maintaining flight. This gives you the following benefits:
  • You gain a fly speed of 60 feet. If you have the Labored Flight trait, this feat effectively replaces that trait.
  • If your heritage is coastal or highland, increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1. This cannot increase your ability score above its maximum.
