Weapons
A strix can peck in Close Combat (BC: 70%, D10-2 damage). Once having done damage they stay in the wound and suck 1 DP/Pulse of blood. If the victim attempts to pull the strix out the victim suffers D10-4 damage due to the barbs on its beak.
Comments
When in combat stirges tend to head for unprotected areas, so the armour protection rating for the stirgges’ victim is reduced by 3-4.
