BeePeople

BeePeople are bee people. They're people with wings, big abdomens sticking out the back with stingers, little antennae, you know, the important bee bits. If you're going to use them, you'll probably want to rename them and give them some setting appropriate flavor. Everyone has a different idea of how to do this, so do what you like. Read about bees or check the Abeil from the Monster Manual II for ideas.

*This race is balanced toward Pathfinder races. Just drop one of their +2 ability bonuses to balance back down again. If there are other questions or problems, post them on the talk page.

• Flight (Ex): At first they can use their wings to slow their fall, descending at a rate of 60 feet while conscious and able (as feather fall). When they reach 6 HD, they gain a fly speed (clumsy) equal to their land speed, and they are able to hover in place.
