Owlin characters

Owlin are worth browsing for posture more than plumage. The best of them do something owl-shaped with the whole body: perched backward on a doorframe with talons hooked through the grain, or on a fencepost with wings half-spread. Rogue is the most common class here, which suits silent flight better than most choices would.

Feathers come in a wide palette. Midnight blue, earthy browns and forest greens like bark, snow white with dark rings round the eyes, deep chestnut and metallic bronze, indigo and muted silver. Eyes are large and usually gold or amber. Men make up most of them. After the rogues come the sorcerers, then a spread of everything else, including a fighter and a barbarian. Three are painted in watercolour, which handles soft feathers well. If you want yours to look like a specific owl, pick the species first and copy its face markings.
