The Pixie is up!

[Nemesis Destiny]

Altitude limit only means you crash if you end your turn higher than that, you can fly higher as far as you have speed

Yeah. I guess 'chasm' implied to me a much wider gap - one that couldn't just as easily be crossed by other means.

A friend of mine played a pixie way back when, in our 2e game. Vicious little bastard, and he came from the benevolent strain of their race. Their cousins were malicious tricksters that used to bind mortals to trees by their own entrails when it suited them. Neither race flew, but they could turn invisible and throw blinding globes of light/pixie dust. I'll probably have to bring them back into play now; if I do, I may swap out flight for something else, to keep their story consistent.

I played a Pixie during playtesting. I love 'em. Very cool little buggers!

I kind of want to make a pixie blackguard in barbed plate with a pick since everyone and everything is bigger than me. That and the thought of a tiny spiky gnat swinging a giant pickaxe just seems funny to me.

Now to write up one of these:

This is the best thing I've seen from D&D in a long time. I think I need to get my dwarf killed off so I can bring back Flufflepuff Faceripper.

The pixie looks pretty cool. Now, what sort of fun racial feats can be dreamed up for it? hehehe. Clearly we could get some kind of Paragon enhanced flight feat.

I know, A Pixie Animal Master with a small flying animal. Hi-ho Thrush, and away!

I did a Pixie Rogue in 3.5 as a NPC. She did 1 point of damage with her rapier but it was enough for the 8d6 sneak attack that went with it. We always joked about the fountains of blood that came from her little needle attacks to vital points.

I thought the pixie was done well. People are already complaining about how an 18 strength pixie can fly lightweight PCs over a chasm. Whooptie-do.

Holy crap you're right. The carrying capacity rules don't adjust for size. I guess we can assume that whatever magic keeps the pixie afloat also allows them to carry people hundreds of times their own weight.

I quite like the Pixie, it looks good. Now, first, I'm going to need to shorten the long list of possible Pixie PCs I want to play, and then I'll need to find some good Pixie-ish miniatures.
