it is this, which drives them to do most things.Physical Description:  Woodland Sprite’s in appearance are tiny measuring usually between 1 and 2 feet in height.  The average weight of a Woodland sprite is around 3 or 4 pounds.  They have pale skin tones and hair ranging from deep green to shining gold in colouration.  They are of basic humanoid form, slim and comely with many elfin features.  Woodland sprites also have transparent dragonfly like wings that hum slightly as they fly gracefully from place to place.  They wear light, loose clothing so as not to encumber or hinder their movements.Relations:  The Woodland Sprites have good relations with most races, they get on especially well with elves and Halflings, and many humans have a fondness for them.  Half Orcs find them annoying pest and the woodland sprites prefer to steer clear of them where possible having a strong hatred of all Orcs and Goblins and other defilers of the woods.  Dwarves find woodland sprites to be a nuisance and have no time for them, which just encourages the sprites to pester the gruff, dour demi-humans that much more.Alignment:  Woodland Sprite’s are invariably of good or neutral outlook being largely innocent, peaceful and non aggressive as a species.  Evil woodland sprites do exist but they are certainly not numerous and are viewed as insane and driven away by other sprites when encountered, preferring not to harm even an evil member of their species if possible.Woodland Sprite Lands:  Woodland Sprite’s have numerous small, remote treetop communities across Faerun, hidden amongst the treetops of many, deep woodland’s such as Cormanthor, The High Forest and even in the smaller woodlands such as the Cloak Woods or Hullack forest.Religion:  Woodland Sprite can tend to worship the elven god Rillifane Rallathil.Language:  Woodland Sprite’s speak Common, Sylvan and may also speak other languages.Names:  Woodland Sprite choose names that are largely similar to elven and Halfling naming conventions.  Some woodland sprites take names that reflect some physical attribute like Shimmerwing, Flutter or  Melody, whereas others are named after the world around them, for instance Moonglow, Goldenstar, or Quickwing.Adventures:  Woodland Sprite’s most often end up adventuring due to their natural curiosity, it inevitably leads them to places and people, which without it they would never encounter.  Those woodland sprites who do adventure most often becomes bards, sorcerers and druids.Woodland Sprite Racial Traits·    +2 Dexterity, -2 Strength:  Woodland Sprites are extremely agile, but due to their size they are not very strong at all.·    Tiny:  As Tiny creatures Woodland Sprites gains a +2 size bonus to Armour Class and attack rolls, and a +8 size bonus to all Hide checks.  They must use Tiny-sized weapons and equipment, and can only lift and carry one half as much as a Medium sized character.  Despite being Tiny, woodland sprites still occupy a 5-foot by 5-foot area, threaten the area around them, and do not need to enter another’s area to make a melee attack.·    Woodland Sprite base speed is 20 feet.  They also have thin, transparent wings that allow them to fly with a speed of 30, with average manoeuvrability.·    Fey Bloodline (Ex):  Woodland sprites are considered creatures of the fey type when enchantment magic is directed against them. For example, the charm person spell does not affect a woodland sprite, but charm monster affects them normally. Woodland sprites can also activate magic items restricted to fey creatures.·    Fey Magic (Sp):  All woodland sprites have the following Innate spell-like abilities, which may each be used once per day each as a sorcerer of the characters level: Charm person, Ghost sound, Dancing lights and Detect magic·    Low Light Vision (Ex):  A woodland sprite can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. The half-nymph retains the ability to distinguish colour and detail under conditions.·    All woodland sprites gain a +2 racial bonus to all Listen, Search and Spot checks.·    Woodland Sprites are extremely agile and as such they gain the Dodge feat as a free bonus feat at 1st level.·    Automatic Languages:  Common, Sylvan.  Bonus Languages:  Elven, Halfling, Gnome and Terran.·    Favoured Class:  Bard.  A multiclass Woodland Sprite’s bard class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing.·    Effective Level Adjustment:  +2Woodland Sprite ParagonWoodland Sprite Paragons are those sprites who have come to embody all it means to be fey, they wholeheartedly accept their nature and their place within the universe.  The Woodland Sprite paragon learns to harness their natural fey abilities to the maximum potential, awakening as yet unknown limits within their diminutive forms.A woodland sprite paragon often feels that they have become one with the natural order and spend their lives guarding their woodland homes or communities from any and all that would do them harm.  They still however remain intensely curious.Game Rule InformationWoodland Sprite Paragons have the following game statistics Abilities:  Dexterity is by far the most important attribute to a woodland sprite, affecting their movement, ability to avoid harm and general agility.  Charisma comes a close second, helping them to deal with others and adding to their magical potential.  Strength is the least important statistic to a woodland sprite for obvious reasons.
