Do rocks have the same range as a Long Bow? Since everything seems to be the same 18m in BG3. Rocks should have a really crappy range and suffer from Disadvantage outside that. They are not actual weapons.
Throwing rocks is more of a joke when talking about combat. There could be a situational rock drop for the Harpies close to their lair but yeah they should sing and swoop down to claw you mostly.
Other than that, I rather like the fight. Using Jump to hunt them down is very satisfying.
But overall, Larian needs to control the urge to give enemies teleport abilities and ranged weapons. Harpies throwing a rock or two is fine, but the Phase Spiders spitting poison and devil pigs jumping over tanks in a tactical chokepoint are not.
Thrown Improvised Weapons = 20 feet/ max 60 with Disadvantage. 1d4+1 damage at most with 2d4+1 crit. Again, makes sense once Luring Song is no longer working to then fly away and throw rocks, but when first attacking, they should swarm with claw and club.
I sometimes wonder if they are planning to do these things later, and I sure hope so. We know that they SAID Difficulty settings will be added, so maybe there will be a Core setting that has harpies acting more like genuine harpies. Maybe they're just testing other potential difficulty settings they want to create. Maybe. Hopefully.
