[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 8497731, member: 19270"] I'm running a fey-heavy setting atm, homebrew using a mix of European/Slavic/Russian/Germanic folklore. Universally, fey don't operate with the same reality, concept of mortality, or morality that PCs do. What may seem trivial could be amusing and novel to fey who need new experiences to feel alive. Others have jobs like couriers for nightmares and so forth. The cloak might be trivial as well, or the challenges. [B]Two universals should exist will all things fey:[/B] 1. If a bargain is struck, it is kept and something given/taken. However, they are usually construed so mortals are on the losing end of what they believed they were going to get and include an "undeal" (a way to negate the deal for the mortal, such as guessing Rumplestiltskin's name). 2. Fey challenges can be deadly. Their bodies don't experience death quite the same way as mortals, so they don't see danger in the same way. The Legendary games 5E products (writers include Jason Nelson who worked on the original fey Kingmaker setting) [B]Faerie Mysteries / Faerie Bargains [/B]could be mined for innumerable challenges.
