Combat
Soldier are the only ones that purposely engage in combat, and they are armored with
plate mail, long sword, and medium shield most of the time.  The armor, of course, is made to
allow them to fly when wearing it.  Commoners often have a long bow they usually use for hunting,
but can also use it in defense if they are attacked and will definitely do so if their village is
attacked.  High Bird Clanners have the spellcasting abilities of 6th level mages.  Great Birds
attack by diving in and grabbing their prey, which is automatic if both claws hit.  After that,
they fly back into the air for a turn and peck, which automatically hits, and ontinue this until
they reach 100 feet, then they drop the captured person and dive again for another target.  When
any of the Bird Clanners dive from at least 40 feet (100 for the Great Birds), they get +2 to
damage, +2 to initiative and +1 to hit.  Commoners have the spellcasting abilities of 2nd or 3rd
level mages, Soldiers 3rd or 4th, and Spellcasters the abilities of 6th to 10th level.

Habitat/Society
Bird Clanners live in communities led by a king and queen, often farming food raising cattle,
pigs, or whatever other herd-like animals that can be raised in the surrounding area.  They also
are fair metalsmiths and well liked by gnomes, for they love mechanical devices.  They are
normally peaceful, but hate undead.  Other cultures occasionally mistake them for angels, and the
Bird Clanners are quick to dispell this misconception that they are avatars.

Ecology
They also tend to have little impact on the surrounding area, often living in secluded, fertile
valleys in the midst of tall mountain ranges.  They live an average of 140 years, and can live up
to 160 years.

Origin
Nina from all Breath of Fire II is Common, Nina from the original Breath of Fire is Old.
