    Lightbulb New Race Suggestion: Kenku

    I know this will probably receive some negative backlash, but my suggestion is to add the playable race of Kenku! I have been wanting to play this race in a D&D game for a long time and it doesn’t seem to be ever considered. I understand that they talk mainly through mimicry, but I would personally deal with the standard common dialog options with the NPCs, and I would RP the real way they talk with other players.

    This race doesn’t seem like a common addition to any games, but if there could be more people that just agree for it to be added, rather than come up with reason why it shouldn’t be playable, I would greatly appreciate it. If you’re one of the hardcore lore obedient players, obviously I understand your reason for disagreeing. But I beg the devs and the player base to please support this idea, I would give anything to play this race in a game!

    I played a Kenku Wizard in my D&D group, so being able to play this in the game would be incredible! Thank you all!

    Edit: I found out that Kenku can actually speak Common, so the language isn’t a problem! I really hope this race is considered to be added in the near future!

    Why not.

    Still, I'd rather have thri-kreen. We need more bugs.

    Never say never, make a post to bring awareness to it like I did with the Kenku. Maybe the devs will see it one day! I won’t give up with the Kenku awareness.

    Thri-kreen don't sleep, they wait Thri-kreen are great for watches while camping but then there's the whole being afraid they will eat you while you're asleep thing and no one else really getting any rest....

    I loved playing thri-kreen (and half-giants) in Dark Sun.

    I've been slipping thri-kreen in for years, and I would really love them, but they can't do a half-orc reskin like with everything else and get us an insect race, I fear. But hope springs eternal.

    If we keep this post up until a dev response, we might stand a chance in this world of crazy high demands and suggestions

    I appreciate the positivity! I was expecting to get a “no. the devs have my opinion to focus on more. find another game.” response. Thank you!

    If they add Kenku then they can definitely add Aarakockra, too.

    If I remember correctly, Neverwinter added them into the game but made them only to participate in a mission that requires you to slaughter them. :’(

    We've already fallen off the cliff where any new races live. Now it's down the slippery slope of deleting races. ...and other stuff.
