Background: Pixies are among the most intelligent and mischievous of the magical faerie-kind. They dwell in idyllic woodlands, taking great delight in harassing travelers with their pranks and tricks. Fun is the goal for nearly all pixies, and they often define fun by the merry pranks they pull.
Pixies are naturally invisible. When they make themselves visible, they look like two and a half foot tall elves, though their pointed ears are much longer. The silver moth wings jutting from their backs gives them the ability to fly. They dress in bright colors, often sporting caps and shoes with curled, pointed toes.
These elfin beings inhabit deep forest caves. They dance in moonlit glades, moving to the music of crickets, frogs, and other nocturnal creatures. They live in clans or family units that seem to mimic human customs. If they take anything seriously,it is their loyalty to family and community.
They also take great pride in their martial skills. They can appear warlike, and they love to play at adventure as much as they love trickery and celebration.
Languages:(non-native languages require a nonweapon proficiency slot be spent) Pixie, sprite, common.
Role-Playing Suggestions: Pixie PCs often join up with adventurers who display a good sense of humor (especially if they were on the receiving end of a pixie prank). With childlike wonder and a sense of adventure, pixies will take up sword and bow and follow other characters on important missions and grand quests. No matter how serious the quest is, however, pixies alwaystreat it as a game.
Even when on an adventure, they cannot refrain from pulling pranks on monsters and other creatures they meet. If no one else is available, they may even turn their tricks on their companions. If they see a young maiden, they must frighten her. If they find a wall, they mus trap upon it. No candle flame is safe in the presence of a pixie, and no inviting frog pond or flower field can be ignored.
Pixies may play tricks to teach lessons, greedy misers and humorless bores are prime targets. Most often, they play tricks for the sheer fun of it. They love celebrations and feasts, and are often considered frivolous by the larger races.
They are graceful, with a love for life. Pixies loathe evil, saving their mos tlethal tricks for foul bandits and wicked monsters. When they need an item, they have no second thoughts about “borrowing”it.
Pixies can be played for comic relief, but their abilities with weapons makes them more than simple pranksters. They can become valuable members of any adventuring party.
