Because of this, some species on this list have Ability Score improvements, while others do not.
First, you get resistance to necrotic and radiant damage, as well as darkvision.

These abilities can prove impactful, particularly when it comes to selecting the flight option.
Overall, aarakocra make great rogues and monks.
They also have access to talon attacks and an ability known as Wind Caller.
