[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7186768, member: 6802604"] Alright, so at first I couldn't believe my eyes. Do some people [i]really[/i] think that a level six class ability makes the character invulnerable?!? Ridiculous. The clear intent of the ability is to let you turn into a raven at-will while retaining the darkvision and advantages to perception, and [b]that's it[/b]. That was my interpretation at any rate, and still is... Mostly... Then I noticed that Soul of the Raven is lacking something: what happens when you're in your raven form and reduced to zero hit points? I can't be sure because I haven't sifted through every rule in all the books, but as I recall just about every other ability in the game, be it a spell or class ability, that allows the character to change shape has a clause for what happens when the form is reduced to zero hit point.... This one doesn't. So, from this can we infer that the raven form is, in fact, invulnerable because they never intended it to reach zero hit points? I personally don't think so, but it's an interesting wrinkle. We know the raven vanishes if it dies or you die or you get separated by too much distance... but when you and the raven are one and the same the rules don't exist. No "when reduced to zero hit points while in raven form..." Nothing. Interesting. Maybe. Regardless I liked the Raven Queen patron from the UA and hope it does make print. Even if it doesn't, I don't play AL and all UA material is allowed in my games, so I guess it doesn't matter in the end. [/QUOTE]
