The Avariel (Aril-tel-quessir in elven or "winged folk") were among the first of the elven races to migrate to Faerûn. However, conflict with Dragons almost wiped them out before the First Flowering and while they have survived since that time, they are considered by most to be myths or legends. Avariel are more delicate than their earth-bound cousins, with hollow bones to aid their flight. They have pale skin, often porcelain white. An Avariel's wings are usually white, but can be black, brown or speckled. Avariel are also known to practice the dyeing of wing tips. Their eyes are slightly larger than normal and range in color from brilliant blues to green or purple. Their hair color normally is a silver-white or black. Avariel are said to have the most beautiful voices of all the Tel'Quessir, and their songs are greatly sought after by bards of other races. Ability Score Increase: Your Charisma score is increased by 1. Angelic Voice: You have proficiency in the Persuasion or the Performance skill. Hollow Bones: You have vulnerability to bludgeoning damage unless you are wearing medium or heavy armor. Elf Weapon Training: You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow and longbow. Flight: You have a fly speed 60 ft, to benefit from this speed you cannot be wearing medium or heavy armor.

Does 60 feet sound a bit much? At starting, at least?

The fly speed is only 10 ft faster than the Aarakocra, and the added vulnerability brings the advantage for the race down.
I've removed the get-out-of-jail card on the Flight skill for custom armor. Originally, that seemed to be a few folks opinions on DandDWiki when I posted the race up, but since it's now worded the same as the Aarakocra (denying flight if wearing restricting armor) that will restrict flight from uber-tanks as well.
