Fanatical, knowledgeable, pranksters, and the only winged playable race; Fairies are tricksters and they take things very literally. If one is not descriptive of what he/she means, then Fairies will always deliver exactly what is said as they see it. Of all the races native to Xadune, the Fairies are the most in tune with magic and its ways.

Natural Life Span

Fairies can naturally live to about 750 years, making them the longest-lived race on Xadune. That said, if you happen upon a Fairy in a city, they will typically be between 130 to 200. Fairy couples typically have one child, but can have up to two.

Base Growth

Fairies have a base growth of 2 Body Points per level, and 7 Skill Points per level.  They gain 1 live every 4 levels, starting at 4th and maxing out at 24th.

Fairies have a maximum level of 35, and a maximum XP of 1201.

Fae Glamour

Being about a foot tall they still have the disadvantages of being wee.  By using Fae Glamour, they can appear to be normal size innately. 

Resist Magic

Fairies are magical beings in nature. For 7 Skill points, they can resist any known 5th level and down Arcane Magic.  “Known” means the Fairy must know how to cast the spell themselves.

Mischievous by Nature

Fairies are extremely crafty. Therefore, through magical means or any other, they do not have to tell the truth, unless they want to.

Magical Princesses

Oh yeah, we went there.  All ranks of Arcane Magic can be learned at a discount of 25%, fractions rounded down.  This does not include Read Magic. However, all Combat Abilities and Talents cost double the amount of stated Skill Points to utilize or activate. 

True Arcane

It is said that Fairies are pure magic. Whether this is true or not is left to be seen, but Fairies don’t do so well in places where the Arcane doesn’t work. Additionally, all Fairies are Born Sorcerers.

By means of this trait the character is more inclined to be able to learn and cast Arcane Magic. They are allowed to learn and advance in the ranks of Arcane Magic without the need of a teacher. The character still needs to know how to Read Magic in order to learn magic. Additionally, the time required to learn new spells is cut in half. Characters are still required to have a teacher in order to learn new spells, however, but can learn up to 4 spells at a time.

Flight

When Fairies are in their true form—or de-Glamoured—they have limited flight abilities.  This can ONLY be used for role-play purpose, and cannot be used for combat reasons.  However, the effect does allow the Fae to escape different magical effects that would require one to be touching the ground. Though good for RP, it cannot be used to carry large objects higher than their Glamour can reach, it cannot be used to navigate dangerously complex scenarios, and does not allow one to escape combat.

Dodgy

Fairies are small and they have wings.  With an expenditure of 7 Skill Points, they can use the Dodge Skill twice per event, and only once per combat.

Frailty

Fairies are small. They cannot wear Heavy Armor, or take the Layer Armor Skill.

Technological Aversion

Fairies by nature do not get along with Science.  Because of this, no Fairy can ever use an engineered item. It simply does not work.  Of course, this does not in any way soothe their curiosity.

The Wee-est of the Wee

Because the Fairies are so small, they have minus 2 damage (to a minimum of 1) with all weapons. This reflects their small strength and small weapon size. To add to this, wee folk cannot use normal weapons and instead their weapons have to be made to their body size; the “Fae weapon”. Their armor must also be custom crafted. 

Due to their minute size, Fairies can ONLY use the Waylay Skill on other Wee folk.  If a Fairy gains a Strength Bonus, they may use the Waylay Skill as normal, but they do not inflict 1 point of damage.  The tagline for this is, “-1 Waylay”. Any strength bonus greater than 1 allows the character to use Waylay as normal.

Word for Word

Fairies will always take things literally.  It isn’t as though they don’t understand figurative language, they just find it fun to take words at face value.  This should be considered a roleplay requirement.

Innately Magical

It’s not always a good thing… See Staff for more information.

Extra Body

At levels 15; 20; 25; and 30 a Fairy character has the option of purchasing ten extra body to add to their max for 20xp. This trait can only be purchased at levels 15; 20; 25; and 30 and at no other time. This trait does not count against Endurance or racial maximums and instantly raises the maximum body of the character by ten points. If purchased all four times it raises this races’ maximum body to 75 by level 35.

Makeup Requirements

Fairies have Long ears and natural looking wings. Ear prosthetics should be between 3” and 5” from inner curve to tip. Natural-looking wings are defined as anything that could occur in nature such as insectoid, woods-like, or what most normally consider fairy-like; not so much on feathered wings.  These are to be worn at all times, even if the character’s ears or wings are covered.  Like Brownies, Fairies are creatures of nature and their clothing often reflects that.  These are to be worn at all times, even if the character’s ears are covered.
