Notes |
Pixies are tiny winged humanoids, and members of the fey, a collection of woodland creatures including elves, brownies, dryads, and nymphs, to name a few. Because of their small size, pixies use various poisons to augment their tiny weapons.
Pixies choose to reside only in the most beautiful of forests and glades, and stand an average of 75 cm (2.5 ft) in height. They are naturally invisible; however, they can become visible at will if desired. Because invisibility is their natural form, they may strike while invisible without penalty. When they do choose to be seen, they appear as small winged elves. Pixies are naturally magical, possessing the following spell-like abilities in addition to Invisibility:
Illusion, Faerie Lights, Dispel Magic, and Read Thoughts. Ten percent of all pixies also possess Irresistible Dance.
Each of the before mentioned abilities is usable once per day.
Pixie illusions possess both an audio and visual component and may last indefinitely and without concentration once created, until successfully dispelled. In addition, pixies may cast Know Passions and Polymorph Self at will. Finally, a pixie that successfully makes physical contact with a creature may Cause Confusion. This confusion is permanent unless Remove Curse is cast on the victim. When not in combat, victims of pixie confusion will babble incoherently and must be lead around. Pixies are very mischievous and like to play pranks on passing creatures.
Bows have half the range of a normal-sized long bow.
Fey Poisons
They are so potent that no damage need be done, a simple scratch will suffice.
Sleep Poison
This toxin causes a deep sleep to fall upon the victim.
Application: Injection, requires only a small cut
Potency: 65
Resistance: Endurance
Onset time: Instant
Duration: 1d6 hours
Conditions: If not resisted, the victim will feel groggy, suffering a penalty of one difficulty grade to all skill rolls for 1d3 Rounds, after which they will fall into a deep sleep for the remainder of the duration.
Antidote/Cure: The victim may be shaken awake or have water splashed in
their face. If so, they may make a second Resistance roll to overcome the effects. If this roll is failed, they again fall asleep after the requisite 1d3 Rounds, and will remain so for the remainder of the duration. Pixie Sleep Poison is subject to the spells Slow Poison and Neutralise Poison.
Memory Loss Poison
This toxin is used by pixies, and causes the victim to lose all memory.
Application: Injection, requires only a small cut
Potency: 65
Resistance: Willpower
Onset time: Instant

Conditions: If not resisted, the victim will lose all memory. They retain all skills and class abilities, and while they may still cast spells, they do forget those currently in memory until they may be memorised.
Antidote/Cure: The memory loss is permanent unless restored through the casting of Heal or Wish. |
