Falcons are excellent birds-of-prey, slightly smaller than eagles. They are prized as hunting birds, especially in the Ethengar Khanates.
These birds only require a DC 17 Handle Animal check to train them for hunting.
Combat
Falcons dive at prey, raking with their claws.
Skills: Falcons have a +8 racial bonus on Spot checks. *Falcons also receive a +4 bonus to Survival checks made while tracking prey.
