Harpies
|
Resembling hideous, winged humans, harpies are nasty, selfish, mean-spirited, and in all ways repellant. They are exceptional, tireless fliers, and relish shredding prey alive with their foot talons. While agile and quick-witted, they are so foul-tempered that their rage often overwhelms their judgement.

Comments
A harpy can be considered a rat with wings. They are good generalists that can exist as a wide variety of classes.
Their hp isn't atrocious.
Stealth-wise they are similar to humans, but they possess a solid archery modifier - so archers aren't terrible.
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. About 16 have been heroed to date.
