RAVEN HARRIER (Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, p. 201)
Celestial Raven as a companion. It has Intelligence 3, uses Gwyn's base saves, Gwyn's HD for determining benefits of Celestial template, and never provokes AoOs for movement. If it is called it reappears at dawn the next morning (Gwyn suffers no penalty for this).
Baffle: If at the start of Gwyn's turn Blackwing is in an opponent's space then that opponent must take a DC 22 Will save, failure means that opponent cannot make Attacks of Opportunity for 1 round.
Harry: As a swift action Gwyn may command his raven to distract a single opponent within 30 ft., that opponent must then succeed on a DC 22 Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 class level + Cha) or suffer a -2 penalty to their AC for 1 round.
Celestial Raven
This silver plumed bird is about 2 feet long and has a wingspan of about 4 feet. She combines both claws into a single attack.

Possibilities for the future:
- Awaken (not technically an Animal Companion/Familiar, altho it is a little against RAI) - the extra Int makes the raven a valid target for Imbue Spell-like Ability (so could have a couple of low level cures for stabilizing and minor healing in combat - which makes for a good lead-in to his acquisition of Channel Spell for ranged Heals)
- some way to increase AC and survivability (if want to use her offensively)
