Homebrew Formless Corvid Species Details
The Formless Corvid is part of the family of the Formless. A group of individuals who lead a covenants of beings. Ranging from thieves, to forsaken wizards.
Simply trying to live in the hostile lands that is any forgotten continent, hiding from the eyes of people, elders, and even some gods who frown on their practice's. The formless corvid in particular is what seems to be a normal crow at first glance, but to those with magical sense, they might sense something more sinister and mythical. While preforming contracts for the Formless covenant, the Corvids will appear as normal crows, but when they aren't flexing their shapeshifting prowess, they return to their natural form of what seems to be almost like a mix between a phoenix, and a crow with phantasmal traits not that unlike a banshee.
While in close combat they fall short due to their nature as a form of bird. However, their magical prowess is truly frightening. With an elder Formless Corvid even riveling elder Dragons on purely the magical front. Whether it is support, all out warfare, or even illusions, having a formless corvid on a team for near anything is a huge boon.
Formless Corvid Traits
Mystical senses, phantasmal traits, and absurd magic.True vision
A slightly less powerful version of True sight, at later levels (17-20) it becomes the full version of it.
At lower levels it grants:
Dark vision with an infinite range, but the further away something is the more grey and white it becomes. (100-250 no grey scale, 260-340 slight grey scale 340-500 less and less colour until the 500ft range where it becomes only greys and whites)
Perfect vision, immune to blinding effects and can see through below 3rd level illusions (at level 10 becomes 5th level spells, at level 15 becomes 7th level spells, 17-20 can see through all illusions)
Age
While technically immortal on the age front due to being phantasmal, they usually only live too about 200 due to the covenants secrecy policy's.
Any that aren't part of the covenant are (first of all, almost none existent) hunted down so no one can use them against the covenant.
Size
When not in their true form, they are about the size of a normal crow. when they are, they range from the the size of a crow to a hatchling dragon.
Speed

Evasion for the small
When attacked, role a d20, while you are on the ground if you roll 10 or below means you are hit and anything above misses. While in flight rolling anything below 8 hits, and anything above misses.
If the attack requires you to roll a saving throw, you can still dodge. Using the numbers before, if you succeed you dodge. If you fail, roll the saving throw. If the attack is an area of effect you will be hit regardless if the area of affect is above 15-15ft.
A bird through and through
Weapons, armour, and other accessories, unless specifically made for a bird is unusable. Armour outside of claw ornaments, and headdress's are unusable regardless.
