It's been an eye opening experience, flattering and frustrating. I know we are all exceptionally busy people so it will mean a great deal to me if you guys could give me an honest critique of my item.
Crown of the Murder King
Aura moderate varied; CL 10th
Slot head; Price 33,000 gp; Weight 2 lb.
Description
A silver bauble is nestled in the peak of this crown made of intricately woven, dark brown and green vines. A pair of magical crows perch on either side at all times, restlessly awaiting the wearer's command.
On command these crows can communicate with nearby animals, whispering their responses into the wearer’s ear.
They also retrieve any specified shiny, unattended object (up to five pounds) within line of sight, returning to the wearer the following turn.
For 10 rounds per day, the crows can take flight and burst into a murder of crows that swarms around the wearer. The cloud of crows is so dense that ranged attacks against the wearer often hit a crow instead, as entropic shield. The crows peck and claw any creature in an adjacent square as elemental aura except dealing 1d6 points of damage and applying the shaken condition (DC 18 Reflex save half, negates shaken). The crows descend on any creature in the affected squares that is below 0 hp and strip the flesh from their bones instantly, increasing the ferocity of their assault (as death knell aura, except wearer gains 2d8 temporary hit points, aura affects squares adjacent to wearer, DC 18 Fortitude save negates). For every creature killed this way, the damage dealt increases by 1d6 points of damage (up to 5d6 maximum). The wearer can also command the crows to bear their weight, enabling them to take flight as fly. These bonuses last until the murder is dismissed or expires.
