Description: Svarthelmin are bramble faeries, appearing as slim and dark human lads with thorns coming from their brows like horns. These thorns are wickedly effective in combat, though the bramble faeries usually use weapons made from their thorny environment as well. All their thorn weapons are poisonous, as are their thorn horns.
Combat: A svarthelmin will try to stay concealed in their thorn bush and deal with intruders with traps and from a distance with its spell-like abilities and thorn shortspears.
Poison (Ex): Fort DC 13; initial and secondary damage 1d4 temporary dexterity. The poison of the svarthelmin causes sever itching and a bright red rash.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): The bramble faerie can use the following abilities as a 6th-level sorcerer: At will- Brambles, Disappear, Entangle, Plant Growth, Speak With Plants; Once per day- Wall of Thorns.
Immunities (Ex): A bramble faerie is immune to poison, sleep, charms, and cold damage. It is not subject to ability damage or drain.
Skills: A svarthelmin gets a +6 racial bonus to Wilderness Lore checks, and a +8 racial bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks made in thorn bushes or brambles, and to Craft (traps) checks made with or in brambles or thorn bushes.
I like the idea (mentioned in another thread about some product I can't recall the name of now-
) of the fey being connected to the plane of shadow; I'll have to work up some of that kind of stuff too.
What do you all think for the ECL and CR? Good spell-like abilities (Brambles is in DotF and MotW, Disappear is a 2-round Invisibility from R&R) should definitely make for a high ECL but the low hp and AC make me wonder about the CR...
