Fairy player?

[SpiderMonkey]

I'm not sure if this thread belongs here or in the rules forum, so please forgive me if it's the latter.

So, one of my players has a fairy fetish and would like to play one in the campaign we're having next fall. She hasn't exactly specified what kind of fairy (she's a noob, to boot), and I'm totally unfamiliar with incorporating nonstandard races into PC roles. Before anyone asks, I haven't read Savage Species, and I'm not terribly interested in purchasing it. The only reason I'm considering allowing some sort of fairy is because they have a big role IMC's history and metaphysics. I've linked elves, halflings, and gnomes to the fey IMC, but if that's not what she's looking for, I'd like to have some other options to throw at her. I've thought about using the aasimar (since there aren't any "upper planes" IMC, they're about the closest equivalent to a Changeling I could come up with.

Anyway, sorry for the long post; I'd appreciate anything you guys could throw at me.

Thanks all.

Fiend Folio has two option, fey-touched and half fey.

Bastards & Bloodlines (from Green Ronin -- good book, too) has a couple of interesting fey crossbreeds, including:

- houri (elf/nymph, ECL 5)
- piper (elf/satyr or halfling/satyr, ECL 2)
- spring child (any humanoid/dryad, ECL 2)
- trixie (gnome/pixie, ECL 3)

Spring children and trixies both seem like they might work for your campaign, based on what you've said about it.

I know that feeling. I have the whole series of Bondage Faeries and..oh wait, you are talking about something else?

If you don't want to bother with ECL's or Savage Species, I think this is a good idea. A pixie is like a +3 ECL, maybe more.

An aasimar can work perfectly well as a sidhe, though I would be tempted to change the ability to use Light once per day to something else more woodsy, maybe a scaled down, nature only Freedom of Movement. Tieflings could work for Unseelie then.

Now Now, despite the covers of Avalance press, this isn't Dungeons and Doujinshi. Now i'll just mosiac away from this topic.

For a fea blooded creature try usin the gnome as a basis switching some of the illiusion-like spells for others and making the favored class be wizard [enchanter] or sorcerer. Maybe give it small wings that give a fair bonus to jump checks that magic can strengthen [like say alter self].

Now i don't mean to accuse you or anything but try not to play favorites .

For Fairies in D&D, read the Justicar trilogy by Paul Kidd. The books are White Plume Mountain, Descent to the Depths of the Earth, and Queen of the Demonweb Pits. These books have convinced me to take the Leadership feat and get a Fairy cohort.

Savage Species also has leveling by monster class so the fairy can start as a first level character.
