Smoke doesn't impair a cinder ravener's vision; it ignores the condition from smoke.

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.

90 feet.

A ravener's frightful presence causes creatures to cower in fear as well. As long as a creature is at least Frightened 2 or more as a result of the ravener's frightful presence, it's also from the fear.

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

200 HP

An intangible field of necromantic energy protects a ravener from total destruction. A soul ward has 150 maximum Hit Points, or 200 if the ravener is level 21 or higher. 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's Hit Points can be restored only via specific ravener abilities such as Consume Soul, Void 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 Hit Points each day until they feed. If the ravener's soul ward loses all its Hit Points while the ravener still has more than 1 HP, they become a ravener husk.

The ravener curses a creature within 60 feet to have their magic replaced with primordial flames. The creature must attempt a save. Regardless of the result, the target becomes temporarily immune for 1 day. Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature is cursed for 1 round. While cursed, any spells that the creature casts gain the fire trait and have their damage type changed to fire damage, regardless of the original damage type or types of the spell. Additionally, any magical items that the cursed target holds or wields are affected in the same manner, such as changing the cold damage of a frost rune to fire damage. The cursed creature can attempt to temporarily suppress the curse as an action, which has the concentrate trait. If the creature succeeds a save, the curse is suppressed until the end of their turn.

Failure As success, but the curse's duration is 1 hour.

Critical Failure As success, but the curse's duration is 1 day, and the DC to suppress the curse increases to DC 44.

Trigger A living creature within 30 feet of the ravener dies
Effect The ravener tears the creature's soul from its body with their maw and gulps it down. The dying creature must attempt a save with the same DC as the ravener's breath ability.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The ravener tears off a small chunk of the creature's soul. If the victim is restored to life, they are Drained 1 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's level.

Failure As success, but the creature's soul is ravaged. The creature is Drained 3 and the ravener adds a number of Hit Points to their soul ward equal to the creature's level.

Critical Failure As failure, but the ravener devours the entire soul. The victim can't be restored to life as long as the ravener exists except via powerful magic such as a wish ritual, and the ravener adds a number of Hit Points to their soul ward equal to twice the creature's level.

The ravener intensifies nearby fires. Every foe within 60 feet taking persistent fire damage takes 5d6[fire] damage.

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 save or gain the 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.

The ravener breathes a blast of necrotic flame that deals 20d6[fire,4d6[persistent,void]|options:area-damage] damage ( save). A creature that fails its save is also Drained 1 (or Drained 2 on a critical failure). If a creature is drained by the ravener's Void Breath, the ravener's soul ward gains 5 HP. The ravener can't use Void Breath again for {1d4 rounds}.
