ALTERNATE RACIAL FEATURES
Bird of Prey: You gain a +1 bonus on damage rolls with all natural weapons and gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC and CMD against attacks made with natural weapons. This racial trait replaces the defensive training and swordtrained traits.
Carrion Sense: Many tengus have a natural ability to sniff out carrion. While their sense of smell isn’t as keen as that of other species, it is particularly attuned to the scent of injuries or death. Tengus with this racial trait have a limited scent ability, which only functions for corpses and badly wounded creatures (50% or fewer hit points). This racial trait replaces gifted linguist.
Exotic Weapon Training: Instead of swords, some tengus are trained in exotic weaponry. Such tengus choose a number of exotic weapons equal to their Intelligence bonus, and gain proficiency with these weapons. They also gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC and CMD against attacks made by creatures using these weapons. This racial trait replaces the defensive training and swordtrained traits.
Glide: Some tengus can use their feathered arms and legs to glide. Tengus with this racial trait can make a DC 15 Fly check to fall safely from any height without taking falling damage, as if using feather fall. When falling safely, a tengu may make an additional DC 15 Fly check to glide, moving 5 feet laterally for every 20 feet he falls. This racial trait replaces gifted linguist.
