Companions of the dead and gluttons of decay, these birds can eat almost anything. Many cultures consider them harbingers of woe and see them as ill omens. Arcane spellcasters who surround themselves with death, rot, and filth favor the companionship of crows.

Combat
Crows combine both claws into a single attack.

Crows as Familiars
Crows can serve as familiars for characters eligible to obtain familiars including arcane engineers, hexblades, mind weavers, shadowsworn, sorcerers, and wizards. Arcane casters with crow familiars gain a +2 bonus on Fortitude saves.
