She descends 1 foot moving 20 feet laterally for every 5 20 feet of horizontal distance traveledthey fall.

The harpy descends in a fluttering spiral and takes only 1d6 falling damage, no matter the actual falling distancedoing so.* Flight {{Ex}}: At 5 HD the harpy gains a fly speed of 40 feet (average poor maneuverability). She can use the run action while flying, provided she flies in a straight line.

* ''(REWORKED)'' Gliding {{Ex}}: Harpies can use their wings to glide at a speed of 40 feet (poor maneuverability). A harpy can still glide or fly while encumbered, but her speed is reduced.

The harpy descends in a fluttering spiral and takes only 1d6 falling damage, no matter the actual falling distance. ''NOTE: I looked up the Tengu's glide from Pathfinder and HOOBOY, it's um, kinda funny. You're falling at just under 7 miles per hour (the rate of feather fall), to glide at 1.7 miles per hour. That's less than half human walking speed. That's pathetic. There's also no action listed for this. I don't like it.'' * ''(REMOVED FEATURE)'' Skills: A harpy receives a +2 racial bonus to Acrobatics. They do not take the –1 penalty per 10 feet of distance on Perception checks for targets within 100 feet. A harpy is always treated as having a running start when jumping.

''NOTE: This was in there, but I removed it, not sure on balance of it. The singular test character hasn't reached level 7 yet. The current 40 ft. (average) is still pretty decent.''
