Weapons

Stymphalids can fire their feathers in Ranged Combat as if they were arrows (BC: 55%, D10+4 damage). Each bird fires 6 feathers per Pulse and has enough for 10 Pulses. The feathers must be aimed within 6 feet of each other. The bird may also excrete a poisonous excrement (BC: 30%) which does 2 DP/Pulse on contact with exposed skin until washed off (only by holy water or alcohol). The excrement is alive and if it has hit an armoured portion of the victim's body it will crawl (1 foot/Pulse) to an exposed area. In Melee Combat the stymphalid may peck (BC: 45%, D10+3 damage).

Comments

If the stymphalid is exposed to a loud noise it must roll 4 x WP or less or roll on the Fright Table.
