[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7012208, member: 6801228"] With their incedibly fast movement, Quickling can make good messengers and delivery fey, as long as they are in the employ of someone who they fear enough not to mess with the packages. I can also imagine Quicklings caught by a mad wizard for experimentation. Trapped in an iron cage, whirring around at high speeds. Perhaps the wizard hopes to learn the secrets of the high-speed world and is casting Haste on the poor things. Also, hasted Quicklings... probably terrifying. Here's an interesting thought, what does a quickling city or village look like? Supposedly they are fast enough to be only a blur, so you walk up to a small village, seeing only wavering blue lines of light filling the streets. Or maybe they are fast enough to be effectively invisible, and you only feel a constant breeze. The place seems abandoned, until you lay down for the night only to find all your supplies stolen by the creatures. Also, they only live fifteen years, which means at least some Fey are actually mortal instead of spirits. I might personally change that, tie them with Slyphs, perhaps they seem to be nomads, wandering the Feywild on an inifinte series of jobs, they are fast enough that even when they are lazy (and nothing says they are not still lazy) they can get all of it done and still have time for other pursuits. I'd definitely use them more comedically, but once combat happens, I think players will find them really aggravating to deal with. [/QUOTE]
