A while ago, I made a game world that required a ton of new classes for my players, and for NPCs I made. I ended up scrapping most of it, and never getting to fully play the campaign because of lack of time. Today I was looking through my stuff, and found this race, something I had promised I'd post. So better late than never?
The lore behind these, is that they are a different species from the typical Harpy. They naturally live very high up in snowy mountains, and are prone to violence. I wanted them to feel completely unique other than being just another class. I am afraid, however, that I might force too many things on a player by making an "armless" race... Thoughts?
High Harpy
Ability Score Improvement: Your Dexterity increases by 2
Age: Harpies live for about 60 years. They reach adulthood by the age of 15.
Alignment: Harpies lean towards the Chaotic Evil side, with a tendency to be predatory and loners.
Size: They are a bit shorter than humans, but their large wings make them broader. They are on average the weight of a human child because of how light their bodies are.
Speed: Your base walking speed is 20 feet.
Language: You speak Common.
Flight: You have large wings instead of arms, and no hands. You must use your talons to perform actions you normally would use hands for. However, you have a flight speed of 35 feet.
Talons: You are unable to wield shields or conventional weapons. However, your talons are natural weapons that you are proficient with. They are treated as having the finesse quality. They deal 1d10 damage.
