Barn Owl

The most common group of owls in the world, barn owls have a wingspan of 1d7+30 inches. They prefer open farmland and fields, where they help to keep the rodent population in check. As with all owls, barn owls are utterly silent in flight. Their exceptional hearing is good enough to unerringly pinpoint a single mouse in a completely dark barn. At the judge’s discretion, 1 in 10 barn owls may be intelligent, with 3d6 for Intelligence, and able to speak the common tongue. These owls may gather in parliaments to share news and plan for the future, and may have humanoid or faerie allies. A further 1 in 10 of these owls may have 1d5 -2 (minimum 1) levels as wizards. Some few of these have made alliances with dark patrons, and are inimical to humans and their allies.
