DC Result

15 Dire ravens are attacted to shiny baubles, and if attacked, instinctually try to peck out their opponents’ eyes.

Errata

  • Pg. 124-127
Stygian Inquirer: The Fortitude and Will saves for the Dire Raven are off. It should be +3 for the Will save (+3 Wis, +0 base because animals do not have a good Will save) and +4 for the Fortitude save (+2 Con, +2 Base as animals have good Fortitude and Reflex saves). Also, the hit points for the Dire Raven are wrong. They are listed as: 1d8 (4) but the Dire Raven has a Constitution of 14 so it should be 1d8+2 (6).
cure: As a Dire Animal, a dire raven cannot have an intelligence of 4. It must lowered to 2 or the type must be changed to Magical Beast and the name must be changed so as not to suggest that it is a Dire Animal.
