Raven Skulk
Raven Skulk
Half-Orc, CE Medium Humanoid (Greenblood)
Complex Monster, XP 7200
Level 18 (+7)
"They claim to serve our legion, but then their actions say different. Since when does the Orc God grant such powers. No, I think they’re working for someone, or something else."
——Grask Brachfang, Half-Orc Commander
A breed of Half-Orc Warrior not quite understood by others of their kind, the Raven Flock consists of Half-Orcs that have given themselves over to a secret, primal god, separate from the Orc gods that other members of their race tend to worship. Like all members of this flock, the Raven Skulk prefers to dress in darker clothing and armor covered in black feathers to increase their chances of sneaking up on a victim. They wield similarly black scimitars with wicked precision, and often serve as assassins, turning into a flock of ravens to sneak into a location, quickly eliminate their target, and then exit through the same method.

Special Actions
Raven Transformation
Immediate Action [Grapple]
The target transforms into a swarm of ravens, gaining a fly speed of 50ft. When the swarm moves through an area occupied by another creature, that creature suffers 30 Slashing damage from a flurry of beaks and claws (Limit once per creature per round). Additionally, while within the swarm, creatures are Nauseated. While in Raven form, the Warlock cannot attack or use Cast Actions. Additionally, he cannot be targeted by attacks, except those that target creatures in an area. If the Warlock is subject to such an attack, and the damage dealt exceeds his Damage Threshold, he is forced to return to his humanoid form. Alternatively, the Warlock may choose to return to his humanoid form as an Immediate Action. (Legendary)
