polkaneverdies:
They both seem like pretty glamorous ways to die.

Franziska:
Could someone pleas stat Harpies?
They are monsters with female faces and bird bodies.Their screeches can drive one mad, thay attack in droves, they stink like rotting carrion and they haunt their enemies by shitting on their food thus preventing them to feed. In Greco-Roman mithology they are daughters to Neptune/Poseidon and Anphytritys. Zeus uses them to punish erring mortals. They can summon sea storms, strong winds and whirlwinds. Their power fades as they move away from the sea.

polkaneverdies:
It is Hard to believe you actually pulled that one off Sancta. I would say that deserves a round of applause.

Sanctaphrax:
Thanks.

The best part about writing custom powers is the part where, weeks or months later, something that would be problematic is easily modelled with what you wrote before.

As for harpies, somebody suggested using Goblin stats and adding Wings here. But that wouldn't really fit your request, so here goes:
