Great!

Those look good to me!

 

[Shade]

Agreed.

Feats: An unseelie faerie has feats common to all of its kind, in addition to a number of feats based on its theme. When crafting an unseelie faerie, select feats from the common list and the list based on its theme:

Common: Alertness, Dodge, Empower Spell-Like Ability, Quicken Spell-Like Ability, Skill Focus, Weapon Finesse (Tiny, Small, and Medium only)

Avenger: 4 feats

Frightener: 4 feats

Shadow Faerie: 4 feats

Trickster: Combat Expertise, Deft Hands, Improved Feint, Persuasive

Looking at the avenger's flavor text, I think that Knowledge (nobility and royalty), or possibly Jump, should be replaced with Survival, since they're all about tracking people down and avenging slights.

Hm, feats...

Avenger: Track, Power Attack (Large and Huge only), Two-Weapon Fighting, Great Fortitude

Frightener: Stealthy, Improved Initiative, Blind-fight, Combat Reflexes

Shadow Faerie: Mobility, Spring Attack, Combat Expertise, Whirlwind Attack

 

[freyar]

Those look pretty good, though we might put Empower SLA in there for somebody.

 

[demiurge1138]

Empower SLA is one of the "common" ones avaliable to all.

 

[freyar]

Oops, missed that somehow.

Updated.

I think we need to work some curses into the special abilities and/or SLA lists. Other than that, I think we're nearly finished!

Curses, huh?

Curse of Nature's Blindness (Su): When this unseelie faerie curses an opponent, the victim must pass a DC X Will save or be completely unable to see any creatures with the fey or animal type, as if they were under the effects of an improved invisibility spell.

Curse of Familicide (Su): When this unseelie faerie curses an opponent, the victim must pass a DC X Will save or, for the next 24 hours, see his friends and family as grotesque monsters and be forced to attack them to the best of his ability. This acts as the "attack nearest creature" function of a confusion spell except that the victim only targets those that he would ordinarily be friendly or helpful towards.

Curse of Cannibalism (Su): When this unseelie faerie curses an opponent, the victim must pass a DC X Will save or forever be able only to gain nutrition from the flesh of his own race. All other foods turn to ashes in his mouth, and unless he eats the flesh of his own kind, he will begin to take damage from starvation.

Not sure how I feel about the common phrasing in the first sentence, though, if somebody wants to polish that up.
