The ravener attempts a DC 5 Flat check check; if successful, they transform back into a ravener with 1 Hit Point in their soul ward."
 
  - name: "Vicious Criticals"
    desc: "  The ravener treats an attack roll as a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, as long as the attack roll was a success. Additionally, whenever the ravener makes a critical hit with one of their Strikes, the target must succeed on a DC 32 Fortitude check save or gain the [[Conditions/Drained|Drained 1]] condition. If the target already has a drained value of greater than 0, their drained value instead increases by 1, to a maximum of drained 4. Whenever the ravener applies drain to a creature in this way, their soul ward gains 5 Hit Points."

  - 1: Ravener Husk

Raveners require a steady diet of souls, and a ravener that’s unable to feed for too long eventually cannibalizes their own soul. Should a ravener’s soul ward ever be reduced to 0 Hit Points by hunger while the ravener has more than 1 Hit Point (see Soul Ward), they lose all traces of their former identity and descend into a feral, nearly mindless state. Even if a ravener husk later consumes soul energy, the transformation can be reversed only via Ravenous Repast.
