Bloodstone de Troll
First Post
Hello all,
These fellows are inspired in part by the brownies from willow though not meant to be a game version of them. Their physical characteristics are more in keeping with the design sketches by Mobius for the movie. Those sketches depicted a far more visually exotic world than the movie.
I tried to make these guys more able to live amongst magic than to wield it themselves, better at making the forest more dangerouse to those who arent careful whose house you've trodden on...

Feral Brownies are tiny sprites who live in deep wilderness areas, where they delight in a life of wild savagery, hunting and playing, and carousing their lives away. These creatures appear as 1 foot tall humans with solid black eyes and the ears of mice. They are typically adorned with the skins of slain shrews, stoats, weasels, or other diminutive woodland predators, though more refined clothing is beyond them. Unlike other sprites, feral brownies are aggressive hunters and confirmed carnivores (though they do still eat sweet fruits and drink alchohol).
Feral Brownies speak Sylval, Elven, and sometimes Common.
Combat
Feral Brownies typically use variouse traps, ambushes, and charmed animals to attack enemies. They themselves prefer to enter battle from heavy cover or from the back of charmed animals such as falcons, owls, Badgers, and the like.
Fey Sight (Su): Feral Brownies can freely see invisible Pixies. The two species of fey use this to better coordinate their attacks and pranks.
Charm Animal (Sp): A brownie can charm Animals or Beasts of no larger than small three times per day as the spell cast by a 4th-level sorcerer. The creature affected must succeed at a Will save (DC 15) or be charmed for 24 hours, performing as transport, guards, or war mounts.
Brownie Traits (Ex): Feral Brownies enjoy a selection of special traits.
· Low-Light Vision:
· Immune to natural poisons and desease: This does not include magical or alchemical concoctions, or alchohol.
· Feral Brownies use their Dexterity rather than Strength modifier for Climb and Jump checks.

Skills* (Ex): Feral Brownies recieva a racial bonus of +2 to Listen checks.
