A Birdfolk Rogue in Dungeons & Dragons is an agile and cunning character, blending the natural dexterity of an avian race with the stealth and guile of the rogue class. Birdfolk are typically depicted as humanoid birds, such as the Aarakocra or homebrew species like the Kenku, Corvum, or Strig. These beings possess keen eyesight, swift reflexes, and an innate ability to navigate the skies or urban environments with ease.

As rogues, Birdfolk excel in speed, precision, and subterfuge. Their natural agility and heightened perception make them ideal scouts, spies, or assassins. Aarakocra rogues, with their flight ability, can execute daring aerial maneuvers, striking from above and evading foes with ease. Kenku, lacking flight but possessing expert mimicry, can use deception and trickery to manipulate enemies and impersonate others. Homebrew Birdfolk races often emphasize different aspects of avian traits, such as owl-like wisdom for silent stalking or raven-like intelligence for cunning schemes.

Mechanically, a Birdfolk Rogue might favor Dexterity-based weapons like daggers, rapiers, or bows, using Sneak Attack to deal devastating damage. Their mobility allows them to avoid danger, and abilities like Cunning Action make them even more elusive. Depending on their archetype, they could be a Thief, using their speed for daring heists; an Assassin, striking swiftly from the shadows; or a Scout, excelling in reconnaissance.

Thematically, a Birdfolk Rogue could be a sky pirate, a mysterious messenger, or a shadowy informant in a grand city. Whether using flight, mimicry, or sheer cunning, they are masters of their environment, striking with precision before vanishing like a ghost on the wind.
