My campaign features a heavy dose of the Plane of Faerie along with Arthurian, Celtic and Norse myth, while trying to minimize the influence of Tolkien. I try to cultivate more of a Sword & Sorcery feel similar to Moorcock, Lieber, and Howard, rather than the epic sweep of JRRT's masterpiece.The gnome core race is used as a template to create a PC race known as pucks, or pookha. They lose quite a few of their core abilities, but gain a limited change self ability (similar to the 3.0 spell) as well as several other abilities. In looks, they are the quintessential faerie with large pointed ears, whispy eyebrows, long beards, and a look of mischief in their bright, little eyes. They are skilled craftsmen, and their wares are greatly valued by both humans and faeriekin alike. Pucks, or pookha as they are called on the mainland, belong to the Seelie Court and can be found living in great numbers in both the Kingdom of Oaks and the Kingdom of Thorn. In those human cultures where the fey are not persecuted, they can also be found living in the surrounding countryside in small enclaves. Compared to the reclusive elves and boggins (the halfling replacement race), the pookha are quite social in regards to humankind, to the point of being almost common in some lands.</blockquote>
