Creature by Poll # 9 - Raven Entity Special Ability Poll!

[Knight Otu]

Origin: former wizard's familiar who has joined/taken over a flock of ravens. Concept: A raven entity is a Swarm of ravens with enhanced powers (based on the level of the wizard whose familiar started it all). Spellcasting, empathy, shared spell (when in a contiguous swarm), evasion, SR, etc..

As usual, you can vote for several items. Voting is public.

 

[Gez]

Frightful presence: by having the swarm gathering ("the birds! the birds!").
Poison: or rather disease, through infected claws.
Sonic: a cacophony of raven shriecks that would deal a few hp damage and have the secondary effect of stunning people. (Sort of a mass Kiai.)
Summoning: can summon (normal) raven swarms.

 

[Tonguez]

I too like the idea of a Sonic cacophany of shrieks but cuaisng Wis damage (insanity) rather than HP

and Other is to add Darkness - "a cloak of darkness raised upon raven wings, so thick that it blots out the sun!"

 

[Sejs]

Spells based on the HD of the swarm / HD of the seed familiar.


Augmented Criticals for eye-plucking goodness!

 

[BOZ]

oh! did you want some input?

Nope, I'll create these two creatures the way I think they should be. In fact, I'll do the opposite of the input you all give me.

Seriously, input is always welcome.

Let's consider this poll closed. The raven entity will certainly have some type of fear effect and spell use. Sonic and summoning abilities are quite likely, as is a darkness effect.
