Ryofalcons are semi-intelligent birds of brilliant, colorful plumage and predatory nature. They are good by nature and attack evil creatures on sight, often in large numbers.

Actions
Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage.
Radiant Flurry (Recharge 6). The ryofalcon unleashes brilliant rays of colored light from its beautiful plumage. Each creature within 5 feet takes 3 (1d4 + 1) radiant damage. Any evil creature within 5 feet must make a DC 11 Charisma saving throw, or take disadvantage on all actions until the ryofalcon’s next turn.
This is an experiment with a low CR creature with a recharge ability (their low health often means that an attack being single use is not a serious reduction in power). I worry that I made it a little too powerful. Compare to a Stirge from the SRD.
