A Birdfolk Raven Master in Dungeons & Dragons is typically a kenku or aarakocra specialized in commanding and bonding with ravens, often serving as scouts, spies, or enigmatic messengers. This concept blends avian racial traits with a class or subclass focused on animal companionship, divination, and stealth.

A Raven Master is commonly depicted as a ranger, druid, or warlock with a raven familiar. As a Beast Master ranger, they share an unparalleled connection with their avian companion, using it for reconnaissance and combat assistance. As a druid, particularly in the Circle of the Shepherd, they gain deeper mystical ties to birds, enhancing their communication with animals and spirits. A Raven Queen warlock embodies the eerie, supernatural aspect of ravens, drawing power from the Shadowfell while their familiar acts as their eyes and ears.

In lore, a Birdfolk Raven Master is often a guardian of secrets, an omen-bringer, or a shadowy figure navigating between worlds. Their ravens serve as messengers of fate, symbols of death, or guides through the unknown. These characters thrive in urban or wilderness settings where their skills in stealth and information gathering make them invaluable allies or formidable foes.

Mechanically, their abilities often revolve around scouting, aerial mobility, and utility magic. They employ spells like Beast Bond, Speak with Animals, or Find Familiar to strengthen their connection with their ravens. A well-built Raven Master excels in perception, deception, and hit-and-run tactics, leveraging their bird’s keen sight and mobility to outmaneuver opponents.

As a roleplaying archetype, the Birdfolk Raven Master is mysterious, insightful, and deeply connected to the unseen forces of the world. Whether serving as a divine agent, a master spy, or a spectral harbinger, they embody the wisdom and cunning of their feathered companions.
