Ability

Enraged Cunning

A murder of crows can get past most barriers to hound their prey. Simple latches, unsecured chimney flues, loosely shuttered windows, and similar obstacles rarely keep a murder away. A murder of crows automatically bypasses many of these simple obstructions and can attempt a DC 25 Thievery check to get through more complex obstructions (such as closed windows or simple barricades).

 

Ability

Swarming Beaks

The crows' angry pecking deals 2d8 piercing damage to each enemy in the swarm's space (DC 28 basic Reflex save). A creature that critically fails its save is blinded for 1d6 rounds as the crows focus their attacks on the target's vulnerable face.

 

Trait

Animal

An animal is a creature with a relatively low intelligence. It typically doesn’t have an Intelligence ability modifier over –4, can’t speak languages, and can’t be trained in Intelligence-based skills.

 

Trait

Swarm

A swarm is a mass or cloud of creatures that functions as one monster. Its size entry gives the size of the entire mass, though for most swarms the individual creatures that make up that mass are Tiny. A swarm can occupy the same space as other creatures, and must do so in order to use its damaging action. A swarm typically has weakness to effects that deal damage over an area (like area spells and splash weapons). Swarms are immune to the grappled, prone, and restrained conditions.
