Aarakocra were initially given longer lifespans in AD&D. Wasn’t consistent across editions, either being comparable to humans (Fighters/Rogues starting at 14-15, Fighter/Rogues starting at 21, and Clerics starting at 30+5d6 years old), or similar to humans but with a younger adult state and earlier-but-longer venerable/old state into 160ish. It’s funny how it’s gone from that to “dead before they can become clerics.”

Goodbye Quill
… now I’m sad again
Every Aaracokra I’ve ever heard of has been a force of absolute chaos. They’re like the hamsters of D&D
On Tuesdays I play an aarakocra barbarian
I uphold your stereotype
A friend of mine played an aaracokra who, in the first session, died tripping on some barbed wire and sold his soul to a spaghetti god.
They’re fun while they last tho. RIP Cocky Tracey.
