Greater Darkvision

A ravener senses the spiritual essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. Creatures whose material bodies are one unit with their souls, like celestials and fiends, appear brighter to this sense.

Soulsense 60 feet

Attack of Opportunity (Jaws Only)

90 feet. DC 37 Will
A ravener&#x27;s frightful presence causes creatures to cower in fear as well. As long as a creature is at least <a href="/condition/frightened">Frightened 2</a> or more as a result of the ravener&#x27;s frightful presence, it is also <a href="/condition/immobilized">Immobilized</a> from the fear.
<hr/>

Cowering Fear

Trigger The ravener takes excess damage to their soul ward but still has at least 51 Hit Points in their soul ward
<hr/>
Effect The ravener draws deeply into their soul ward, discorporating their body into soul energy in order to escape. They take 50 damage to their soul ward and their physical body vanishes, reappearing [[/gmr 1d4 #hours]]{1d4 hours} later in a random location within 1 mile from the location where they used Discorporate.

Discorporate

An intangible field of necromantic energy protects a ravener from total destruction. A soul ward has 150 maximum Hit Points.
Whenever a ravener would be reduced below 1 Hit Point, all damage in excess of what would reduce them to 1 Hit Point is instead dealt to their soul ward. If this damage reduces the soul ward to fewer than 0 Hit Points, the ravener is destroyed.
A soul ward&#x27;s Hit Points can be restored only via specific ravener abilities such as Consume Soul, ravenous breath, or vicious criticals. A ravener who goes more than a week without successfully using Consume Soul to feed on a dying creature starves, and their soul ward loses 1d4 untyped Hit Points each day until they feed. If the ravener&#x27;s soul ward loses all its Hit Points while the ravener still has more than 1 HP, they become a @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.pathfinder-monster-core-2.Actor.Ravener Husk].

Soul Ward

Void Healing

Trigger A living creature within 30 feet of the ravener dies
<hr/>
Effect The ravener tears the creature&#x27;s soul from its body with their maw and gulps it down. The dying creature must attempt a DC 44 Fortitude save with the same DC as the ravener&#x27;s Breath Weapon.
<hr/>
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The ravener tears off a small chunk of the creature&#x27;s soul. If the victim is restored to life, they are <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 1</a> in addition to any other side effects of returning to life. The ravener adds a number of Hit Points to their soul ward equal to half the creature&#x27;s level.
Failure As success, but the creature&#x27;s soul is ravaged. The creature is <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 3</a> and the ravener adds a number of Hit Points to their soul ward equal to the creature&#x27;s level.
Critical Failure As failure, but the ravener devours the entire soul. The victim can&#x27;t be restored to life as long as the ravener exists except via a 10th-rank effect such as <a href="/spell/miracle">Miracle</a> or <a href="/spell/wish">Wish</a>, and the ravener adds a number of Hit Points to their soul ward equal to twice the creature&#x27;s level.

Consume Soul

The ravener makes two claw Strikes and one wing Strike in any order.

Draconic Frenzy

The ravener recharges their Breath Weapon whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.

Draconic Momentum

The ravener&#x27;s Strikes affect incorporeal creatures with the effects of a <a href="/equipment/ghost-touch">Ghost Touch</a> property rune, and the ravener&#x27;s jaws deal an additional 6d6 force damage to undead.

Ghost Bane

The ravener breathes in one of two ways. With either option, a creature that fails its save is also <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 1</a> (or <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 2</a> on a critical failure). If at least one creature is drained by the ravener&#x27;s Ravenous Breath Weapon, the ravener&#x27;s soul ward gains 5 HP. The ravener can&#x27;t use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
<ul>
<li>Void (necromancy, primal, void) The ravener breathes a blast of darkness in a 40-foot cone that deals 17d6 void damage plus 4d6 persistent void damage (DC 39 Basic Reflex save). Undead creatures take 22d6 force damage instead of the void damage.</li>
<li>Shadows (necromancy, primal, shadow) The ravener breathes a blast of shadows in a 40-foot cone. Each creature within the cone must attempt a DC 39 Fortitude save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is <a href="/condition/enfeebled">Enfeebled 2</a> for 1 round.
Failure The creature is enfeebled 2 for 1 minute.
Critical Failure The creature is enfeebled 2 for 1 minute and <a href="/condition/blinded">Blinded</a> for 1 round.
</li>
</ul>

Ravenous Breath Weapon

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 at a DC 37 Fortitude save or gain the <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 1</a> condition. If the target already has a drained value of greater than 0, their drained value instead increases by 1, to a maximum of <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 4</a>. Whenever the ravener applies drain to a creature in this way, their soul ward gains 5 Hit Points.
