Yes, I quite like that.

[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 4952628, member: 57383"] The names are OK by me. I was thinking Danartha would be an exotic alternative to their "common name", kind of like how Mind Flayer / Illithid works. Oh, and Damage Resistance 10 seems too high for their probable CR, I'd think 5/cold iron would be enough. Yup, those are probably the ones I'd pick if I had to choose only five. Are we having them at-will or x/day? If they can flame blade and fire pebble at will, I'm tempted to have them have their cantrips at-will too. I'd probably split Disguise and Sleight of Hand rather than Listen and Spot. I feel they'd rely on their [I]alter self[/I] and [I]mage hand[/I] abilities as much as skill. So, I'm thinking of dividing the skill points something like this: [INDENT] Bluff 4, Disguise 2, Hide 4, Listen 4, Move Silently 4, Sleight of Hand 2, Spot 4, Tumble 4. [/INDENT] Anyone have any preferences for what (if any) racial bonuses to skills it should have? Sprites get +2 on Listen, Search and Spot, which seems about right.
