The Fairies are among the aristocrats of fey society. Ancient and powerful, most fairies are indifferent or even benevolent towards humans. Some however are evil and sadistic, spiriting humans away to act as slaves within the Fairies own strange world. They can appear in any humanoid form, but in their true shape they appear as extremely beautiful fair-haired fair-skinned mortals. A Fairy can sprout shimmering insect-like wings at will, which disappear in a shower of rainbow light whenever they are no longer needed.
The Fairies live in their own misty world, a plane apart from but connected to our own. Like most fey the Fairies are deeply connected to nature. However the Fairies also have a strong connection to magic, especially illusions, charms, and transformational magic. Fairies generally stay invisible to mortals when in our world, but some times erratically choose mortals to reveal themselves to, whom they some times choose to favor with magical gifts or ancient knowledge.
Fairies also come to our world to dance, usually in forest clearings on moonlight evenings, leaving behind only a ring of toadstools to mark their presence next morning. Mortals are well advised not to interfere with fairy dances, as the fairies touch can rapidly rob a man of his senses, forcing him to join in the dance…which usually results in death or permanent madness.
Combat:
Fairies rarely engage in direct combat preferring to use their powers of charm and illusion to confuse their foes into frustration. Fairies who have become displeased with a mortal often appear to the person in a guise other than their own and subject him to their maddening touch, making him more susceptible to their other powers.
Defensive Aura: Fairies add their Charisma modifier, if positive, as a deflection bonus to Armor Class.
Impervious Mind (Su): The powerful alien minds of the Fairies make them immune to all mind effecting spells and effects
Maddening Touch(Su): a living sentient being touched by a Fairy takes 1d6 points of Wisdom damage. A successful save reduces this damage by half.
Iron Vulnerability: In addition to bypassing their damage reduction, iron weapons deal double normal damage to Fairies, and when struck by such a weapon the Fairy must make a Fortitude save or be stunned and unable to use their magical powers for the round after being struck. Magical affects created by a Fairy whether through spells or spell like abilities can be dispelled by the touch of iron. The iron must be touched to an affected creature or object, or thrust into the area of effect of a spell. Treat this as a targeted dispel magic with a caster level of 12.
Steel is less effective against Fairies then pure cold iron. Steel bypasses only 2 points of a fairies DR and does only 1 and a half times normal damage. Additionally when steel is used to attempt to dispel fairy magic, the dispel check suffers a -4 penalty
Planewalk(Su): A Fairy can move at will between the misty home of the Fairies and the Material Plane, or use Etherealness at will as a move action. Additionally once per day they may Planeshift as the spell cast by a 20th level sorcerer.
Spell-like abilities(Sp): at will: Alter Self, Charm Person, Dancing Lights, Detect Magic, Detect Thoughts. Ghost Sound, Improved Invisibility, Obscuring Mist, Sleep, True Seeing. 3/day: Bestow Curse, Charm Monster, Confusion, Dimension Door, Dream, Emotion, Hold Monster, Hold Person, Mirage Arcana, Persistent Image, Phantasmal Killer, Seeming. 1/day: Control Weather, Insanity, Otto’s Irresistible Dance, Weird. Caster level 18.Base save DC: 16+ Spell level
Spells: A Fairy can cast spells as either a 6th level bard or a 6th level sorcerer. Most continue to progress in that class throughout their lives. Each level taken ads to their natural spellcasting abilities, so a Fairy who takes 4 levels of Bard casts spells as a 10th level Bard. Fairies favor Enchantment, Illusion, and Transmutation magic. A Fairy who casts spells as a Bard also has the Bardic Music ability of a Bard of the same level.
Skills: a Fairy receives a +4 racial bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Listen, Move Silently, Perform, Search and Spot checks, and a +2 racial bonus on all Animal Empathy, Handle Animal, Sense Motive, and Spellcraft checks. This is figured into the above statistics
The alignment thing was tough. In my campaign thier isnt going to be Law or Chaos. in my world most Fey are more or less good with some evil ones.
I'm not really happy with the skills either.
