Cool? etc. The familiar's master is a 12th level wizard with Stitched flesh familiar feat from libris mortis.He used craft wonderous to make his familiar SpellstitchedRawkTiny Undead (Raven base creature) w. Spellstitched templateHit Dice: 12d12 (HP 35)Initiative: +3Speed: 10' or 40' flight (average)AC: 24  (+3 dex, +6 natural, +2 size +3 Deflection) Flat Footed 21, Touch 18Grapple: -3Attack: +11 talon (1d2-5)Full attack: +11 talon (1d2-5)Special Attacks:  Spell like abilitiesSpecial Qualities: Undead traits, DR 5 Magic and Silver, SR 17, Improved Evasion, Darkvision 60', +2 profane bonus on all saves, Saves: Fort +6 Ref +9 Will +12Abilities:  Str 1 Dex 16* Con -- Int 11 Wis 15* Cha 6*includes a +1 inherint bonus from wishSkills:  Hide +21, Listen +3, Spot +5, Concentrate +15, can speak common (Raven)Feats: Weapon finessePossessions:Ring of Protection +3, Ring of Chameleon Spell like abilites: All are cast at 12th level usable 4/day1st - Mage armor, Ray of enfeeblement.usable 4/day2nd - Scorching ray, False lifeusable 2/day3rd - Fireball, Summon Monster IIIusable 2/day4th - Dimension door, Animated Dead.so, he uses false life and mage armor every 12 hours giving him a 28 ac and +11-20 hp's. His DR and SR make him somewhat hard to crack, along with his flight abilities.  Ray of enfeeblement offers no save, and drains 1d6+5 strength! In fact, only fireball has a save, which is a meager 11 DC (charisma based; he uses it to destroy structures).He uses his ring of chameleon's change self power to appear as a normal raven if need be.   This creature acts as the wizard's enforcer. It rules a small village by proxy.  It has a small army of undead the characters  should mow through (48 hd of zombies and skeletons) What encounter level would you rate this monster?Imagine you walk on a scene of carnage.. crows picking the flesh from the bodies of many soldiers who died in a battle.. one crow hops between the bodies, (placing 25 gp gems in thier mouths)... suddenly, many of the bodies rise as zombies and attack!</blockquote>
