D&D Avengers: Falcon

Alright, we are nearing the end of this series. Time for the new more minor characters who are part of the Avengers. I'm going to ignore Warmachine because he is basically Iron Man with more guns and that feels unnecessary. Instead we are going to do Falcon and then, my personal favorite Ant-Man. It is also super likely I do Guardians of the Galaxy next and then the Gaang. So many groups! So much fun!

Anyways, Falcon. He has wings, but he was a soldier, at least in the movies. However I know in the comic book he has a real cool buddy Redwing and can meld minds with birds. That is kind of awesome and so we're going to do it!

First, a magic item to make our hero a real flyer, but not insanely powerful.

Pack of Steel Wings
Wonderous item, uncommon
This backpack weighs about 10 pounds and conceals a pair of steel wings that come out of the sides when the command word is spoken. While the wings are extended, you may hover in the air and fly with a speed of 50 feet. The wings can lift up to 400 pounds, but its flying speed is 30 feet while carrying over 200 pounds. You cease to hover when you land.
    While the wings are being used, you can use each wing as a short sword that deals slashing damage as melee weapon attacks. You cannot use the wings as weapons while holding an item or another weapon.

Boom! Problem solved.

Leveling Falcon: Alright, not so bad. His "spells" should focus on working with animals and any that could be explained as technology or hyperhuman senses. Up his physical ability scores and pick the Beast Master archetype and grab a falcon for your friend. This should get you a pretty badass ranger who can fly around with his falcon, slashing up buddies.
