Raven

The raven is a natural Tiny animal with excellent daytime vision. It is a basic form for travel, observation, and spying in places where an ordinary black bird attracts little suspicion. Its first profile becomes available with Summon or Polymorph Level 2.

The raven's feet and beak can seize and carry small objects but cannot operate tools or most mechanisms.

Attacks and Traits

Bite. The raven deals 1d4 + DEX.

Keen Eyes. Sight is a very favorable factor when the raven searches from the air or notices distant movement in daylight.

Invisibility. Beginning with its Level 4 magical profile, the raven can spend 1 Spell Action to produce the Level 4 version of Invisibility. It requires neither speech nor gesture, costs no spell slot, and can be used once per round.

An Animal Mind

A summoned raven understands places, faces, routes, objects, signals, and simple concrete orders. Higher profiles strengthen its body without granting language or abstract reasoning. A caster using Polymorph retains their own mind.
