Harpy Talonists Race Class [Labyrinth Lord]

Harpy Talonists

Requirements: STR 9+, DEX 9+

Prime Requisite: DEX

Hit Dice: 1d6

Maximum Level: 8

Special: Innate Magic Resistance (+2 on all Saves), Magical Songs

Attacks: Talonists get up to 3 attacks when using their talons followed up by a scream, or once a day the Talonist may make an all-out combined attack on one target using just their talons, doing double damage and using the third attack to re-roll any misses.

Harpy Talonists are notably brutal, bloodthirsty and crude, even among other harpies. They will sometimes wear armor looted from past victims, especially if they realize that it is magic, but they prefer to rely upon their wicked scimitar-like talons as their primary weapons which inflict 1d6+1 damage each. Unlike their sisters, these harpies do not rely overly much on their song-spells, but rather prefer to use their primary wounding scream attack in combination with their filthy talons.

Harpy Talonists gain 1 Magical Song every other 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 only block their use of the magical song-spells.
