The Adult Dragon has less Feriocity than the Ancient One.

Is this intended, as they are just calmer and slower due to their age?

Thanks.

Regarding harpies. Do they have Furiosity 1 as in the Bestiary or 1 per harpy as in the core book?

Both are correct. The rules in the Bestiary are simply clarified. Harpies are not a swarm - they have individual HP and each harpy gets a turn per round. They just perform group attacks, with each attack consuming a turn for one harpy.

Okay, thanks (again).

It´s a bit irritating, that nearly all attacks talking about "harpies" (plural) or flock. And the Mass Attack! of "Each attack ..."

So just to get it right: If I have three harpies, they get one card and then the GM roles or chooses three different attacks with the damage for a single harpy (e.g. Coordinated Attack! (2D6), Mass Attack! (D8) and Death from Above! (D6)).

I take it that each Harpy gets its own init card:
<> and each harpy gets a turn per round <>
But on each of those turns they perform a group attacks:
<> with each attack consuming a turn for one harpy.
But if the GM so chooses, he can group all the harpies under one card, just as with NPCs. But since if the PCs are fighting harpies, they rarely fight anything else, so why not give all the harpies their init card, to spread out the menace in the round.

So technically it works like one monster, but with the difference that each harpy have their own HP and turn (during they always attack as a group) and if a single harpy dies, the group has one less turn and if half of them dies, the rest flees.

Harpies are nasty, the group attack mechanic makes them one of the more challenging monsters so far.

I have some doubts:
1) Nightkin Player Charachters (PC) will suffer from the "Nocturnal Trait"?
2) Why the Goblin base movement for PCs isn't 8 (like halfings and dwarfs) and the Cat People isn't 12 (like Wolfkin)? It's a balance thing?
3) An Ogre PC will be Large or will be normal sized? This affects the melle range?
4) Karkion NPC's lacks the Wings ability... By raw I'd say they can't fly.

My interpretation of the rules:
1) Nightkin Player Charachters (PC) will suffer from the "Nocturnal Trait"?
Yes, why wouldn't they. It is fairly easy to avoid.
2) Why the Goblin base movement for PCs isn't 8 (like halfings and dwarfs) and the Cat People isn't 12 (like Wolfkin)? It's a balance thing?
I think that they realized that the new kins should have base movement and squeezed in 10 as the base movement for all of them.
3) An Ogre PC will be Large or will be normal sized? This affects the melle range?
According to the kin description it is large.
4) Karkion NPC's lacks the Wings ability... By raw I'd say they can't fly.
While minion NPCs usually don't have innate abilities or HAs, Boss NPC can use of innate abilities and can have HAs.
