Hit Dice: 1d6

Maximum Level: 12

Special: Innate Magic Resistance (+1 on all Saves), Magical Songs

Harpy Tormentors delight in rigging-up traps and fiendishly clever ambushes for their prey. Cruel and devious slave-masters, the Tormentors delight in the misery and suffering of others. They gain spells as though they were a magic user of the same level but must cast all their spells as chants, dirges and recitations. They learn their spells from grizzled and wizened elder-crone harpies who recite each spell as part of a foul and twisted oral tradition that only a harpy may hear without suffering from Confusion effects (Save -1).

Tormentors rig-up traps as a Thief of the same level.

Harpy Tormenters gain 1 Magical Song every level. The duration of the effect is contingent on the harpy continuing to sing, mutter, or chant the song-spell. Any time that they are interrupted, the song-spell is ended. Magical forms of Silence cause 2d4 damage to the Tormentors, in addition to preventing their use of the magical song-spells.
