[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7428982, member: 6801228"] I love the Fey and have tried to use them a lot in my games. I did set up the Summer and Winter Courts, but I also set up the Wild Court, who are essentially the Faerie who don't want to get caught up in the war between Summer and Winter. As for stats... I tried to create some Fey before, and it ended poorly. What I've gone with so far was actually much more story based, similarly to how people might use the Gods and Archdevils. We were doing some off-screen emails and people were having to deal with them in a story sense instead of a mechanical sense. Other than that, hags and dryads (usually home brewed and given wider abilities and spells) are my big uses. Actually, that is a thing, I'll often use Fey to deliver curses and abilities that don't really translate into mechanics. For example, stealing a player's shadow and part of their life force for stealing from them, or turning a player into a sentient burlap doll. And I think that sort of strange magic plays into the Fey, they don't play by these mythic and steady rules, they play by storybook logic. Until we get some really solid fey creatures (and I like the idea of turning some non-fey creatures who should absolutely be fey into fey) I think that is going to be mostly where they live in my games.
