Comments

A harpy can be considered a rat with wings. They are good generalists that can exist as a wide variety of classes, but will not excel in any single role.

Their hp is mediocre, as is their mana pool.

Stealth-wise they are similar to humans, but they possess a solid archery modifier - so archers and druids are viable choices (note - Harpy's can't naturally become soldiers). Their high dexterity also makes them good tanks with monks, rogues and related classes. They do not have a racial damage modifier.

Considering spell-casting, harpies receive noticeably less mana than an elf and are not a no-fail race, though their human-like hp can make them serve as a non-reliable caster experiment (with more tnl than lizardmen).

Harpies were added April 20th, 2007.
