Buckawn are relatives of the brownie (q.v.). They are less friendly and far trickier than their distant cousins. Buckawn shun contact with most other races, including other fey creatures.

   Buckawn stand about 2 feet tall and have dark skin and hair. Their eyes are green or brown. They tend to dress in russets and greens.

   Buckawn speak Common and Sylvan.

COMBAT

Buckawn favor daggers and darts in combat. They readily use poisoned blades when confronted with a tough opponent or one they don’t particularly care for.

   Spell-Like Abilities: At will—change self, dancing lights, entangle, invisibility (self only), pass without trace, and summon swarm. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 6th-level sorcerer (save DC 13 + spell level).

   Poison Use: Buckawn never risk accidentally poisoning themselves when applying poison to a blade. They favor deathblade poison.

   Skills: Buckawns receive a +2 racial bonus to Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks.

The Buckawn first appeared in the 1e MM (Gary Gygax, 1983).
