I'm thinking of using the Lost Messenger at the back of Book 1 but I can't think of how to put the item together.
My thoughts are:
Parrot (Can't find a Toucan so this may fit), make it a clockwork construct then to make it sentient add the druid spell awakened as I want it to have an intelligence score.
or
Animate object, clockwork then awakened as above
Or do I make it an intelligent item?
I don't want to make it a weapon though, more of a curious wonderous item maybe granting a luck bonus or something
Not sure what if any powers to add to it but I see it more as something like Boobo from the original Clash of the Titans. Maybe make it a familiar or animal companion of one the players or all of them, kind of a ship mascot.
Anybody have any ideas on how to construct it orhas anyone done it yet?
We used the stats for a Clockwork Familiar from Bestiary 5 page 57, providing a perfect excuse for a Wizard to take the Improved Familiar feat. As a familiar it grants a +2 for all Craft and Use Magic Device checks.
Changing the Clockwork Familiar to a different kind of bird is an artistic choice by its creator and should not change the stats at all.
