View source for Harpy, White-Tailed (3.5e Race)

==White-Tailed Harpy==

[[Summary::The white-tailed harpies are a specie of lesser harpies with a relatively human appearance and gentler demeanor.]] They do not prey on humanoids, instead preferring small animals, making them much friendlier toward their neighbours. The white-tailed harpies look much like a human, except with wings instead of their arms and talons instead of their legs. Their feathers and talons usually resemble those of tropical birds or owls, and their tail feathers tend to be white.  Female of the species tend to have  grey, white or black plumage while the male have very colorful feathers.

|specialtext2=White-tailed harpies can use their wings to glide. A harpy can still glide or fly while encumbered, but her speed is reduced. She descends 1 foot for every 5 feet of horizontal distance traveled. If a harpy becomes unconscious or helpless while in midair and begins falling, her wings unfurl and hold in their gliding position. The harpy descends in a fluttering spiral and takes only 1d6 falling damage, no matter the actual falling distance.

|specialtext4=A white-tailed harpy has a pair of talons that she can use as well as hands for the purpose of manipulating objects, but cannot wield weapons in them. She may uses her talons as a two-handed [[Feral Strike (3.5e Variant Rule)|Feral Strike]], dealing 2d4 piercing and slashing damages with a 19-20/x2 critical threat. When she delivers precision damage (such as sneak attack) with her talons, a white-tailed harpy deals an additional amount of damage equal to her character level. A white-tailed harpy may use her talons ina grapple as if they were light weapons.

|specialtext5=A white-tailed harpy lacks proper arms, instead having a pair of wings where her arms would be. This does not affect her magic item slots. A white-tailed harpy possesses flight, allowing her to fly at a speed of 40 ft. with poor maneuverability. She can fly for 1 consecutive round +1 additional round per point of [[Constitution]] bonus she has, after which she must rest for 2 rounds for each round of flight. Since their flight is unstable, a white-tailed harpy takes a -4 penalty on all ranged attacks while flying. At 6 HDs she can fly indefinitely and no longer take a penalty on ranged attack while flying.
