What they can do though is max out Planeswalking since Pixies always treat it as a class skill regardless of class, which would give you the ability to go ethereal (and hence pretty undetectable) from a fairly early level regardless of class.  It's not as good as invisibility for most of the purposes people put invisibility too, because you can't generally attack anything in the material.  And Ethereal doesn't work exactly like standard stock D&D either, but it would mean that from a fairly early level most doors don't present a barrier.  Really old stone buildings and undisturbed ground have a tendency to also exist in the ether though, which limits what you can walk through (though you can tear holes in ethereal objects if you have the time, it's sort of like working with clay).  Then again, every time you go ethereal you get a wandering encounter check to see if some other spirit happens to be hanging around...good thing that Pixies are relatively immune to horror and madness.I don't have a Pixie in the party, but I have had Sidhe - which take the place of Halflings and Gnomes in my game (any Halfling or Gnome you wanted to play would be a Sidhe with a particular personality).  They work similarly, only no wings and a bit bigger.</blockquote>
