Animated Kite
Level 0Abilities
A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-rank Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.
Like normal objects, an animated kite has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage it takes by an amount equal to the Hardness. Once an animated kite is reduced to less than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks and its Armor Class is reduced to 13.
The animated kite gives its line to an adjacent ally with a free hand. The kite remains attached until the creature releases it or the kite flies more than 60 feet away. A creature between them can also sever the line with a successful Strike against AC 13 that deals any amount of slashing damage.
Requirements The animated kite has its line attached to an ally
Each creature along the line between the kite and its ally takes 1d6 slashing damage (DC 16 reflex save).
Description
An animated kite is perfect for spying, allowing observation from a great distance, although many are treated more like pets. The kite itself is a simple handcraft, easily created and destroyed, made of enchanted paper stretched over a fine bamboo frame. More advanced kites can be decorated with a variety of runes that allow the enchanter to see or hear from a distance.
