Ranting ravens are talkative birds capable of speaking Common, and do so regularly and often. They tend to bargain for treats in exchange for information or services.
A ranting raven is about 2 feet long with a 4 foot wingspan. Most sport pure black plumage, though some have tufts of white. Occasional exotic specimens have deep red or evening blue feathers.
Combat[edit]
They combine their claws as a single attack when defending themselves or providing a distraction. They prefer to annoy and pester targets first.
Raven's Sass (Ex): The ranting raven's Goad feat's DC is based on its Wisdom instead of Charisma. If a creature fails a save against a ranting raven's Goad, it also takes 1 Daunt level which lasts for 1 hour. The Daunt from a particular ranting raven does not stack with itself, however the Daunt level from another ranting raven does.
Familiar[edit]
Ranting ravens can be used as familiars for spellcasters with the Improved Familiar feat and at least caster level 3rd.
