Question: This is a follow-up question inspired by [this question](https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/99966/when-merged-with-the-raven-using-soul-of-the-raven-is-the-warlock-immune-to-d).

While you're merged with your raven, if you take damage, how do you resolve it? It's not the same as a simple polymorph.

Do *both* you and the raven take the damage? Is it just you? If the raven *does* take the damage, what happens if it dies while you're merged with it? If it's just you, what happens to the raven/your body if you die?

Answer: 
**Soul of the Raven** is described as

> 
> As a Bonus action when your raven is perched on your shoulder, your body merges with your raven’s form. While merged, you become Tiny, you replace your speed with the raven’s, and you can use your action only to Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, or Search. During this time, you gain the benefits of your raven being perched on your shoulder. As an action, you and the raven return to normal.

It doesn't specify anything besides your size/speed change, so you retain all other stats. It is you who takes damage, with your AC and statistics. When **your** HP reaches 0, both of you die. There is nothing written about what happens to your shape when you die, so that would be up to the DM.

I personally would make you remain in raven form. You are merged until you decided not to be anymore. However, [The Raven Queen](https://rpg.stackexchange.com/users/34724/the-raven-queen) suggests that, as *"The raven vanishes when it dies, if you die, or if the two of you are separated by more than 5 miles."*, it makes more sense to change back into your form when you die since the raven you were merged with vanishes.
Since not other stated, i would assume it works like the druids **Wild Shape** ability, so the raven takes the damage and when he falls to 0 HP, he vanishes and you reappear.

Still, nothing is written about that, but i would handle it like that. So if the raven gets killed in the air... good Luck to you!
