    desc: "  There are few things as dangerously persistent in the natural world as an angry unkindness of ravens. A raven swarm can hound its prey through most barriers. Simple latches, unsecured chimney flues, loosely shuttered windows, and similar obstacles rarely keep an unkindness away. A raven swarm attempts a Thievery check to bypass many of these simple obstructions, typically against DC 20."

    desc: "`pf2:1`  The ravens' angry pecking deals 1d8 piercing damage to each enemy in the swarm's space (DC 20 Reflex check save). A creature that critically fails its save is [[Conditions/Blinded|Blinded]] for 1d4 rounds as the ravens focus their attacks on the target's vulnerable face."

A flock of ravens is known as an unkindness. Certainly the name lives up to its meaning when a swarm of ravens decides to work together. In most cases, a raven swarm like the one presented here won’t attack larger foes, but when manipulated by supernatural forces or simple desperation born from hunger, an unkindness of ravens can be a surprisingly dangerous foe.

Few birds are as cunning and social as the raven.
