[QUOTE="VirgilCaine, post: 1508934, member: 17083"] I had the idea to make a Harpy template that changed birds into harpy-esque blends of humanoid form and the natural bird form. ______________________________________________________ Harpy Template by VirgilCaine The magical tampering that produces these horrible creations usually gives them surly, bitter dispositions. Exceptions are possible, however. This is a template that can be applied to any avian creature of the Beast or Animal types, hereafter referred to as the "base creature." Its type changes to "Monstrous Humanoid." HD: +2 HD (Monstrous Humanoid Hit Die) Size: Increase one size. Speed: As base. AC: As base creature. Attacks: As base creature. Special Attacks: Captivating Song: The base creature gains the "captivating song" ability of the harpy, except that the range in 20' per Hit Die, and the DC is Charisma based (10 + Charisma modifier + Hit Die = DC). Special Qualities: Gains the ability to speak in Common, plus one other language per point of Intelligence bonus. Skills: Perform +4 * Feats: As base creature. Saves: As base creature. Abilities: +6 Intelligence, or the base creatures Intelligence score, whichever is higher, +4 Cha Climate/Terrain: As base creature. Organization: As base creature. CR: +3 Treasure: As base creature. AL: Usually Chaotic Evil Advancement: As base creature. * This is a racial bonus to Perform checks. ------------------------------------ I am thinking about adding various effects, not just captivation--like a Dove-Harpy would have a "Calm Emotions" type song, or you could have a stunning or damage-dealing song or a nauseating song. I also don't know how you would determine which powers for which creatures... Problems? Comments? Concerns? Ideas? [/QUOTE]
