Athasian Aarakocra (Race)

The "Exceeding Level Limits" optional rule from the DMG is mandatory in DARK SUN campaigns. However DMG Table 8 is replaced with the "Exceeding Racial Level Limits" table from the Dark Sun Campaign Setting Revised book.
Special Advantages:
* Natural AC of 7.
* Can use his talons instead of a weapon during combat.
** Striking twice in a round for 1d3 points of damage with each successful hit.
* When using a javelin (if the character is proficient in its use), an aarakocra can make a special diving attack that gets a +4 bonus to attack and causes double damage.
* -2 penalty to all attack rolls when when forced to fight in an enclosed area (any area where the aarakocra can't spread their wings and fly).
Special Disadvantages:
* Any damage received by a bludgeoning weapon is increased by 1d4 points.
* The oldest aarakocra known lived to only age 42.
Multiclass Notes:
* Defiler or preserver may be substituted for any mage entry.
* Gladiator may never be a part of a multiclass combination for demihumans.
