[QUOTE="Redthistle, post: 6379918, member: 6778305"] [b]Pixie, converted using 4e Pixie and 5e Elf/Wood Elf for inspiration[/b] [U][B]Pixie[/B][/U] Pixies are most at home in natural settings, but can be so fascinated by the activities of other creatures that they are sometimes drawn into even the largest of communities if they chance to become intrigued by someone who simply travels past them. They are often at the mercy of their own sense of whimsy, yet that very lack of predictability can also confound any opponents they might encounter along the way. Pixies rarely appear to onlookers unless they wish to be seen, and other people who happen to spot a pixie are astonished at the first sight of these tiny fey. Pixies wear light, ephemeral clothing that grants maneuverability while they fly. Noble pixies array themselves like princes and princesses of the fey, wearing flowing gowns and doublets of spider and caterpillar silk that sparkle like moonlight on a pond. Wild pixies dress themselves in acorns, leaves and bark, and the pelts of woodland beasts. Pixies prefer armor made of acorns, insect chitin, leather, the scales of reptiles, stiff bark, or fine mithral mail. They rarely wear heavy armor. What pixies lack in ambition they more than make up for in curiosity. They are usually content to safely watch from hiding, but there are moments when something a creature does is so inexplicable to a pixie that it just has to interrupt and ask, “What is ... ?” or “Why did you ... ?” or some other pesky question. Like their elven kin, pixies love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry, and the good things of the world. [B]Delicate Wings, Nimble Flyers[/B] Rarely reaching even a foot in height, pixies resemble diminutive elves with gossamer wings. These wings sprout from their backs like those of dragonflies or butterflies, but are grander and more beautiful than either. Pixie wings come in as many colors and patterns as there are shapes to dreams. Despite their almost insubstantial quality, they are as bright as the clear dawn and as luminous as the full moonrise. A pixie in flight leaves a shower of sparkling dust that follows in its wake like the glittering tail of a shooting star. Pixie eyes come in as many different colors as their wings. When pixies interact with mortals in the world, their eyes appear to have pupils. However, the natural state of a pixie’s eye is a single glittering orb without a pupil. [B]Manana, Pixie Style[/B] Pixies can live well over 700 years, but unlike some other long-lived races, they tend to live more in the moment. It’s not that they don’t have long memories; rather, where elves consider events with something of a wait-and-see perspective and plan ahead when they can, pixies are more likely to be excited by any unexpected change to their current circumstances. They might abandon strategy to indulge their curiosity just because an unrelated but novel development catches their attention. Pixies are able to maintain their concentration on a given task when it seems crucial to them, but outside of that they have an attitude that they’ve got all the time in the world and can get back later to anything that really matters. [B]Glades, Woodlands, and Rural Streams[/B] Pixies possess little if anything in the way of territorial instincts. Most dwell in forests, sleeping outside in trees or bushes when the weather is fair enough. In temperate climes they will dwell in tree hollows in winter after migratory avians such as wood ducks have abandoned them for warmer climes. Some pixies simply migrate away from the cold along with the birds. [B]Exploration and Adventure[/B] Pixies take up adventuring almost accidentally, simply following their innate curiosity away from home at times and joining adventuring groups when they become friends with one or more members of the party. That same sense of wonder about the world may lead them back home from time to time to catch up with loved ones, too, and any time they have rejoined family or friends they have not seen for a while is a great reason to celebrate with song and dance and magic.
