Choice Professions: Barbarian, Knight.
Marginal Professions: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Wizard.

A gargoyle resembles nothing so much as an ugly stone man with wings (see Winged Races), claws, and a barbed tail. Gargoyles are stupid, dirty, and unsophisticated, but not uniformly evil – although some would pull the wings off a pixie. Mostly, they just like to eat and break stuff.

Gargoyles stand as tall as humans of the same ST, but weigh 30 lbs. more than their height suggests.

* Stony: Gets +2 to impersonate a statue if still and naked against a stone backdrop. This usually benefits trickery attempts using Acting, Camouflage, or Stealth.
