Harpy Screechers Race Class [Labyrinth Lord]

Harpy Screechers

Requirements: WIS 10+

Prime Requisite: WIS

Hit Dice: 1d6

Maximum Level: 10

Special: Innate Magic Resistance (+1 onall Saves), Magical Songs

Wing Buffet Attack: Screechers get a wing-buffet attack that can strike up to two adjacent targets for 1d4/level of the Screecher in place of the usual claw attacks.

Screech Attack: 1d4 damage/level of Screecher, 1 designated target must make Save or be deafened for 3d4 turns. They may use this attack only if they are not already casting a song-spell.

Vicious and spiteful winged hags, the Screechers concoct foul potions and worse poisons from the remains of their victims, as well as crafting bone-marionettes and scalp-dolls that they use as tiny minions. A Screecher rarely engages in melee combat, preferring instead to fly off a short distance and cast spells or shoot poisoned arrows at their enemies. If they cannot withdraw and attack from a distance, Screechers will spastically flutter about the place making wing buffets, slashing away at random with a dagger and making full use of their screech attack.

Harpy Screechers gain 1 Magical Song every level. The duration of the effect is contingent on the harpy continuing to sing, mutter, or chant the song-spell. Any time that they are interrupted, the song-spell is ended. Magical forms of Silence cause 2d4 damage to the Screechers, in addition to preventing their use of the magical song-spells.
