## Faeries

Depicted above is Sunflower; a Faerie paladin of Serenrae, taking a rest on the hilt on an ally's rapier.

**Relations:** Bubbly and kind, fairies try to get along with anyone, no matter how scary or evil they may look. While this leads to their death sometimes, this thought never really crosses their mind when talking to gargantuan dragons or when inviting orcs to games of tag.

**Physical Description**: Tiny fey with beady eyes and strange multicolored hair, fairies appear almost exactly similar to human children or gnomes, save for their incredibly small stature and big grins. Fairies,also suffer from an genetic trait among their bloodline; where only around one in every 100 faeries are born a genetic male.

**Adventurers**: Fairy kind does not live for very long, often dying before their human friends even reach adulthood. This, however, is a very big incentive for them to start adventuring because they have only so much time to do so. Fairies often become Sorcerers, Paladins, or even Swashbucklers.

**Fairy Age**: Fairies mature completely around 5 years old, and live up to around 30 years old. The oldest ever fairy was recorded at 35 years and 7 months old when she died.

**Alignment and Religion**: Fairies’ good nature and happy-go-lucky attitude leads to most of them becoming Neutral Good, however those with a more devious sense of humor and more ties to the dark fey end up as Chaotic Neutral or Neutral Evil.

**Ability Score Racial Traits:**  Faries are nimble, both in body and spirit, but their form is frail. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Cha, and -2 Constitution.

**Size**:  Fairies are tiny sized, and gain a +2 size bonus to Dexterity and a –2 size penalty to Strength. Fairies gain a +2 size bonus to their AC, a +2 size bonus on attack rolls, a –2 penalty on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD, and a +8 size bonus on Stealth checks. Fairies take up a space of 2-1/2 feet by 2-1/2 feet, so up to four fairies can fit into a single square. Fairies have a natural reach of 0 feet, meaning they can’t reach into adjacent squares. They must enter an opponent’s square to attack it in melee. Since they have no natural reach, they do not threaten the squares around them. Other creatures can move through those squares without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Type: Fairies are Fey with the Fairy subtype.

Low-Light Vision: Fey can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light

Base Speed: Fairies have a base land speed of 30 feet. They attain such speed with short legs by hovering above the ground. This allows them to pseudo-fly. They ignore difficult terrain and can float above liquids without making contact, such as water or magma. They cannot hover above holes or gaps.

Languages:  Fairies begin play speaking Common and Sylvan. Fairies with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Gnome, Elven, Protean, Celestial, Auran, and Aquan.
