Bonding Requirements

Carrion birds are battlefield scavengers, and are very much associated with death and the dead. Mortuary skill is required to bond to them, certainly less than 30.

Known Abilities

The carrion bird is an opportunistic avian scavenger, found in nearly every region. It can fly, eats corpses, and can see in the dark.

Attribute Modifications

Bonding to a carrion bird provides its consort a large bonus to charisma, moderate bonuses to intelligence and willpower, and a small bonus to perception.

Specialty Bonuses

Bonus specialty degrees and access are provided as follows:

Tier 1

• Entropic Affinity

Tier 2

• Necromancy

Tier 3

At the middle of "very frail":

• Memory

Tier 4

At the middle of "somewhat frail" bond strength:

• Telesmatic Weapon

Tier 5

At the middle of "fairly healthy" bond strength:

• Centering
• Channeling
• Archery

At "very healthy" bond strength, the bonus specialty for extropic affinity is increased to 2.

Tier 6

At the middle of "very healthy" bond strength:

• Daemonology
• Mortuary
• Necromancy increases to 2

Significant access for all these skills is also provided.

Charms

Carrion birds fly in flocks, and are social creatures; the carrion bird familiar is able to charm other carrion birds into following its consort. Initially on bonding:

• Urge
• Tame
• Command
• Starsee

Shortly after:

• Call
• Send
• Kinsee
• Convert spiritual energy into entropic resource energy
• Hallow Remains of departed creatures, adding to entropic resource energy
• Weave shadow into arrows, enchanting them to do esoteric damage types

Towards the end of "very frail" bond strength:

• Conjure a Devilfly from the remains of a rat

At the middle of "fairly healthy" bond strength:

• Cloudweave a staff, enchanting it with the power to grant wingless flight

At "very healthy" bond strength:

• Conjure a Banshee from the remains of a dana
• Recall Conjured Followers

Late in "very healthy" bond strength:

• Rarify one's form to become intangible

Additional Bonuses and Powers

Combat Maneuvers

At the middle of "somewhat frail" bond strength, a new attack maneuver called "Gust of Black Wind" is added. This attack does a mix of extropic and elemental air damage, uses telesmatic weapon and necromancy as its core skills, and is fueled by the extropic resource energy collected by the Convert and Hallow Remains charms. It has a moderate activity cost, a very low resource energy cost, is very accurate, and does damage to a very large area.
