Time for an all-pixie campaign

Already plenty of Love in the game. Personally I play a deva invoker of love inspired by Ruby Rhod. Good times. <3

May as well multiclass into Seeker so you can have tiny Tinkerbells swarm your foes too.

I wonder if there's a spell that's the equivalent of a Carebear stare...

When I asked my girlfriend if we could do "girly D&D" over the phone I got a stony silence.

Women: they always destroy your dreams :.-(

Well, that is rather dropping a pile of stereotypes in her lap.

Pixie-filled faerie tales are for all genders. The notion that they are not is from the same source as the notion that fantasy and make-believe (You know, D&D) is for children.

Particularly when this same girl hates the color pink and likes dark fantasy. But it seemed too good to pass up.
 


I think that flyers should have "fly points" (these depend on what type of creature they are)
they can move up equal to their fly speed but lose 1 fly point for each 1 square they move up, they flout to the ground at about 3 squares per turn,
so when they run out of points they have to float to the ground and when they land they have to wait a turn before they start regenerating fly points(but they do not regenerate them all at once).
of course the fey have to use small projectile weapons or cast spells while flying (as they cannot use medium sized weapons and close range weapons cannot hit the enemies on the ground), but if they are fighting a dragon or powerful mage (who can both fly) they will use fly to follow them and will probably be able to land close range attacks on flyers,
all flyers can hover though for very few fly points (as those who hover or fly are harder to hit)
 

I just cannot see WOTC introing a whole new set of rules architecture for a tiny race. How does tiny deal with armor, weapons, grabs, etc. A whole lot of rules baggage.

Yippee to the return of WEAPON SIZE rules! Just what the game needed. Also ought to bring in the 3.5 hold overs.

Heh. You never can tell.

Had an idea for a half-elf swarm druid that could turn into a cloud of miniature pixies --- nasty little guys, a la the toothfairies in Hellboy II. As with the badger-elf idea, the question is whether he's a guy who turns into a mess of pixies, or a mess of pixies that can pass as a guy.

Someone mentioned the Smurfs . . . as with those Tinkerbell movies, I wouldn't go QUITE that far, but a pixie / gnome / wee folk campaign could be a good change of pace by emphasizing a community-based PC group (as opposed to wandering professional adventurers) and non-combat problem solving. Sort of like "The Hobbit," I suppose --- when your whole culture revolves around staying unnoticed and out of the way, it's all the more heroic to finally stand up to something great and terrible and say, you shall not pass.

Pfft.
Damn straight.

I have a blue-skinned, red-haired, sporran clad Pixie with 18 strength named No'-As-Big-As-Medium-Sized-Jock-But-Bigger-than-Wee-Jock Jock
