[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 2344744, member: 192"] ... in a ruleset where outsiders can be native? ...fey can be extraplanar? ...elementals can reach a near-humanoid anatomy? Dryad - forever tied to her tree, she cannot venture far from it. Nymph - Beauty Incarnate, she craves purity in body and mind, and hates impurity. Satyr - Party, Fun, Orgy! Which other pastime would he choose? Sprite, Grig - Did he play a trick on you? Why, of course he did! Sprite, Nixie - She won't leave the lake, and you certainly won't see her if she doesn't want to be seen. Sprite, Pixie - Pranksters, like the grig, but if they can take from the misers and the greedy folk with it, they do it. With just six fey in the core rules, it is hard to establish a clear idea what, except being "nature spirits," defines a fey, but I think there are two common traits which, for lack of better terms, I'll call Addiction and Obsession. When is a fey Addicted? It is bound to a place, object or maybe person. Outside a certain range to the Addictive, the fey weakens and may die. The dryad is the prime example of the Addicted fey, though there are many others, such as the Oread and the Mirage Mullah. When is a fey Obsessed? It is tied to an activity or idea, which it pursues constantly, single-mindedly. It propably thinks nothing of it - pursuing the idea is to the fey as breathing or walking is to a human. Nymphs and Satyrs are certainly Obsessed, as are the prankster sprites. The redcap pursues murder, the petals seek to bring restful sleep to everyone. The nixie? She is likely obsessed, but she hardly shows it. Twice obsessed, one to remain unseen, two to remain in the lake she calls home. The shadar-kay? Addicted, and obsessed! Addicted to the Shadow Plane, the only place to restore their soul. Obsessed with keeping their soul. Would that make the elemental weird oracles fey? Yes, I would say so. Comments? Thoughts? Questions about my sanity? [/QUOTE]
