I suggest this model to be changed to the flying seagull.
Reason?
Do you see a seagull disarming an orc, from the ground?
Also, they don't walk, they slide, it looks silly,
And they aren't too fast on feet, the 10% movement bonus makes sence only if they fly.
There is already plenty of flying bird shapes.
A non-flying bird as other uses for roleplay purposes and makes a nice addition to the repertoire of possible wildshape, rather than having YET another different coloured shape bird flying around and always.
Is it possible to script a form model change while in bird form?
/c bird land
/c bird fly
I'm not particularly invested in this, or concerned one way or the other. I was merely wondering.
Possible, yes. Likely? No. Seeing as there is only one bird model that has both a landed and flying model, and only one class would ever be able to use it. And rarely use it at that.
