Faerie Encounters

Here I am, resurrecting old threads again....

RC..I'm wondering, what thought have you given to employing The Hunt as a fairy encounter?

No, but someone might.

Also, this is a cached version from sometime in January this year. Um, if that's remotely useful, I'll see if I can dig up a more recent one.

Good luck, RC.

I've just now stumbled across this thread

And am most pleased with what you're presenting. The difficulty with MM fey is not that they're particularly inaccurate, but rather that the MM utterly fails to convey any sense of their nature. As far as mechanics go, the stats are usable, but useless unless the Shanachie is capable of comprehensively realating Story of the Faeire Ffolke (which you appear to be doing extraordinarily well). Of course, the latter tends to make the former unecessary. Obviously, when dealing with Faerie, this is as it should be. . .

Have Fun, Play Well,

Performing a bit of thread necromancy, because this was one of the coolest threads on any topic.

Also, I figure putting some links to resources others mentioned in related threads wouldn't hurt.

I like the Avalanche press Little People one, and at $3.00 it is a very affordable download.

On the non-d20 side of things, GURPS Faerie is good, as is the forementioned AM book.

WotC does have some retired Fey articles. Take a look at these articles by Gwendolyn F. M. Kestrel and Faith M. Pricef.

Non - D&D, but I always liked Ars Magica's Faeries

Ari's Iconic Bestiary: Classic Fey is probably the closest thing that exists to a "big book of fey", but it's not exactly "big":

Goodman Games' Complete Guide to Fey is more a "fey building" handbook. It has fey classes that can let you re-create most existing fey with pretty good success, and create your own:

Altas' Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary is not fey focussed, but has quite a few fey.

Bastion's Faeries is more a fey setting and magic book.
