{{width:84px}} Oftentimes depicted as savage creatures who lure 
{{width:100px}} sailors to their inevitable demise, harpies, 
{{width:105px}} regardless of  their descent, are often tarred with 
{{width:114px}}the same brush. In reality, when raised within the 
{{width:120px}}context of civilization, harpies act no differently 
{{width:128px}}than other humanoids do, which begs the time-
{{width:134px}}aged question of nature versus nurture. 
<br>
{{width:140px}}When indeed raised in society, harpies' 
{{width:145px}}natural gifts aid them in being unrivalled 
{{width:153px}}messengers, diplomats and minstrels. 
{{width:157px}}Due to their wings, harpies are 
{{width:163px}}oftentimes mistaken for aasimar, 
{{width:168px}}aaracokra and celestials, but 
certain 
{{width:174px}}key characteristics allow them to be 
{{width:180px}}distinguished from other winged 
{{width:187px}}humanoids. For starters, harpies 
{{width:202px}}possess large, slit eyes, much 
{{width:209px}}like a reptile's. Furthermore, 
{{width:215px}}while sporting mainly human 
{{width:230px}}features, localized 
{{width:237px}}clusters of feathers can 
{{width:242px}}be found on a harpy's 
{{width:235px}}extremities, as well as 
{{width:225px}}sharp, birdlike talons.

{{font-family:WalterTurncoat  {{width:224px}} Before choosing the {{width:235px}}harpy as your {{width:240px}}character's race, {{width:246px}}talk to your DM {{width:250px}}about the}}

:::
Your voice has a captivating charm to it. You therefore have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Performance, Persuasion or Deception.

:::
Your unarmed strikes deal slashing damage, rather than bludgeoning damage. 

:::
You sing a beguiling melody, capable of enchanting others. As an action, choose one humanoid or giant that can hear you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw or become Charmed. The creature remains charmed as long as you maintain the song as a bonus action on subsequent turns (up to a duration of 1 minute) or until it succeeds on a subsequent saving throw, which it may make at the end of each of its turns. 

A target that successfully saves is immune to this feature for the next 24 hours.
:
On its turn, a charmed creature must move towards you via the safest available route if it is not already within 5 ft. of you. If the creature has no other option than to subject itself to harm in order to reach you, it must first repeat the saving throw before taking that route. 
:
{{text-align:center
The DC for this feature is equal to:
{{font-family:ScalySansRemake  8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier}}
}}
:
When you reach 3rd level, your voice becomes more potent. When you use this feature, every humanoid and giant of your choice within 30 ft. of you are subjected to the effects of Harpy's Song.
