Storm Bolt

The chaos falcon's bolt Strike always deals the damage type of their storm nexus aura.

Stormsight

Wind, precipitation, and clouds don't impair a chaos falcon's vision; they ignore the Concealed condition from storms, mist, precipitation, and the like.

Dive-bomb Two Actions (earth, fire, primal)

Requirements The chaos falcon is Flying

Effect The chaos falcon Flies twice straight down. If they reach the ground or a similarly solid object at the end of this movement, their landing shatters that surface into sharp shards and droplets of molten stone deal 4d6[fire],3d8 piercing4d6 fire and 3d8 piercing damage (DC 26 reflex save) to all other creatures within 20 feet.

Flash Storm One Action (air, primal, water)

Water condenses around the ash particles in the chaos falcon's 15-foot aura, pelting everything beneath it with driving rain. Creatures in that area must succeed at a DC 26 reflex save or be pushed 20 feet down, falling Prone if they start or end this movement on the ground.

Storm Nexus (aura, primal)

15 feet. 3d6 untyped, DC 26 reflex save. The chaos falcon is surrounded by a cloud of volcanic ash, lightning arcing within the cloud as it glows hot in some areas and collects ice in others. A chaos falcon can change the damage type of this aura to cold, electricity, or fire as an action, which has the concentrate trait.

The extreme weather that gives birth to chaos falcons grants them a mix of abilities not found in other elemental birds. To them, lightning is as natural as fire and heat as comfortable as cold. The variability of their attacks makes them dangerous, even for the well prepared.

Like their elemental cousins, chaos falcons are often the harbingers of storms. They're also seen as omens of volcanic activity, as they will travel across great distances to play and dance in the resulting eruption. Between this association and their tendency to rain both fire and ice, their presence is considered dangerous by nearby settlements.

Fortunately, chaos falcons are solitary birds that prefer to stay away from the noise of civilization. They nest in volcanic vents or areas with geothermal activity, relying on the heat of the earth to incubate their eggs while hunting in the wilderness nearby. Unless their peace is disrupted or their safety threatened, they're unlikely to attack creatures that move through their habitat.
