Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the fey

[Shade]

I'd rather not lose the gremlin name here, as they are gremlins in the traditional sense.

How about calling them "Sprite, Gremlin", allowing us to retain the name without causing confusion with the outsidery gremlins?

 

[freyar]

This all works for me so far.

Added to Homebrews.

Spells:
0th - dancing lights, mage hand, open/close, prestidigitation
1st - animate rope, grease

Sound ok?

 

[Shade]

Sure do!

You know, these things sure are well-organized for chaotic creatures.

 

[freyar]

Yes, they're "chaotic" individually but extremely lawful in society. Of course, they give us no evidence of their individual chaoticness except that they play pranks. Kind of reminds me of the "CE" fire archons that WotC put up on their web site right around the 3e "lame duck" period after the 4e announcement.

Anyway, I'd be up for a change to LN or N if we aren't comfortable going to lawful.

 

[Shade]

Ditto here. I'm fine with LN or N, but I'm not buying CN.

 

[freyar]

Well, I'm for LN if you're agreed. Any more SAs or SQs?

I want to modify the name, not lose it.

How about "Trooping Gremlin", since they group in hierarchies and there are some traditional fey folk are described as gathering in "troops"?

As for the alignment, I still quite like CN for them.

Their hierarchy might be well detailed, but that doesn't mean they follow orders. The way it says they have to steal stuff from stores that they may need for their missions suggests they're expected to rely on their individual initiative.

It may seem contradictory to have an apparently rigid rank system, but chaotic creatures are contradictory.

 

[Shade]

I'm still not convinced on chaotic, as they are far too ordered. I'll settle for a "usually neutral", though.

I'm not fond of "trooping gremlin" either. Sorry!
