    • 100 feet. The thunderbird is surrounded by a cyclone of wind and driving rain. This area is greater difficult terrain||3|terrain for flying creatures, who must successfully Maneuver in Flight (27) or be blown 30 feet away from the thunderbird. Creatures on the ground must succeed at a 27 Reflex save to perform any move action and are knocked prone on a critical failure. The driving rain in the storm aura imposes a –2 circumstance penalty on Perception checks and extinguishes smaller flames. A thunderbird can deactivate or activate the storm aura as a free action with the concentrate trait.
