Distraction: Any living creature that begins its turn with a carrionstorm in its square must succeed on a Difficulty 13 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save Difficulty is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus. Using or concentrating on supernatural powers within the area of a swarm requires a successful Difficulty 25 Concentration check. Using skills that involve patience and concentration requires a Difficulty 20 Concentration check.
Pallid Bond: A carrionstorm never initiates an attack on a creature that openly wears an unholy symbol of Urgathoa or is itself undead. If attacked first by such a creature, the carrionstorm’s swarm attack only deals +0 damage rather than the normal +2.
Vulnerable to Purifying Light: A successful use of the Purifying Light power against a carrionstorm does not hedge out the swarm—rather, it destroys many of the individual birds, dealing damage as if the carrionstorm's Will saving throw was a Toughness check against damage equal to the power's save DC.
