Tengu are an adaptable people originally from the continent of Tian Xia, but whose travels have taken them across all of Golarion. As a people in diaspora, tengu are almost always found within larger kingdoms and communities of other peoples, with the exception of their home nation of Kwanlai. As a result, tengu tend to gather in close-knit social groups both with other tengu as well as with other peoples of non-majority ancestries, collecting words and customs from other cultures the way a bird

Abilities

Eat Fortune (concentrate, divine) — Frequency once per day

Trigger A creature within 60 feet uses a fortune or misfortune effect

Feather Fan Dustup (air, divine) — Frequency once per 10 minutes;

Effect The tengu waves their feather fan, summoning a small magical breeze that kicks up dust in a 5-foot burst centered on a corner of their space, which lasts for 1d4 rounds. All creatures within that area are Concealed, and all other creatures are concealed to them.
Sneak Attack — The tengu deals an additional 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Surprise Attacker — On the first round of combat, creatures that haven't acted yet are Off-Guard to the tengu.
