They're possessive for at least 2 reasons I can recall:1) I tried to pull in as many references as I could, and this one's certainly from JM Barrie.2) I've had a number of bad experiences with Small and Tiny characters being jerks to other party members because they're small, cute, stealthy, and can get away with it. Kender jerks. Halfling jerks. So I tried to "program" something into the pixie's nature that encouraged pixie players to not be rogue vagabonds that spoil everyone's fun. Since there was already a strong literary model for pixies being possessive of their people (JM Barrie) I figured it would work. There are a few references to "wild pixies" in the entry. Those are there to say "You don't have to be cute. You can be a mean and vicious little bastard that would sooner eviscerate a human than talk to one if you want to. Dark fairies."The human/pixie connection is also JM Barrie, I'm pretty sure. I think it would be neat if the campaign villain was a dark mirror of a pixie PC--someone that had lost their way, and the pixie PC is sort of the bright potential that they were as a child, or could have been. It was a stray thought I kept having while writing that section. Somebody please use it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And Merric's right regarding the Witch's ability. Whenever you take an extended rest you can swap out a utility or daily for _any_ comparable wizard utility or daily. The witch taps directly into the mana vein, in a sense. The witch's familiar instructs the witch on the making of the spell he/she wishes, depending on the situation. Though there aren't mechanics for it, I envisioned the familiar teaching the witch, and the witch using the prep time to go out and gather herbs, spell components, eye of newt, toe of frog, etc.</blockquote>
