Faeries

*(Shamelessly taken from http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/community-creations/black-flame-studios-lab/races/fairy/ with some edits for balance)*

**Relations:** Bubbly and kind, faeries 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, faeries appear almost exactly similar to halflings or gnomes, save for their incredibly small stature and big grins. Faeries, also suffer from an genetic trait among their bloodline; where only around one in every 100 faeries are born a genetic male.

**Adventurers**: Faery kind does not live for very long on the material plane where time flows normally; 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.

Faeries often become Sorcerers, Paladins, or even Swashbucklers.

**Faery Age**: Faeries mature completely around 5 years old, and live up to around 30 years old outside of the First World / Feywilds. The oldest ever faery was recorded at 35 years and 7 months old when she died.

**Alignment and Religion**: Faeries’ good nature and happy-go-lucky attitude leads to most of them becoming Neutral or Chaotic 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. Fae are rarely lawful whether good or evil; though a rare few maintain a state of lawfulness, almost always by following the edicts of a deity.

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

**Size**:  Faeries are tiny sized, and gain a +2 size bonus to Dexterity and a –2 size penalty to Strength. Faeries 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. Faeries take up a space of 2-1/2 feet by 2-1/2 feet, so up to four Faeries can fit into a single square. Faeries 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. (Which provokes an attack of opportunity from the opponent). 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**: Faeries are Fey with the Faery subtype.

**Darkvision**: Fey can see 60ft in non magical darkness.

**Base Speed**: Faeries have a base land speed of 25 feet.

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

Wings (3 RP): Faeries have tiny gossamer wings that help them maneuver through the air. This grants the Fae a +2 Racial bonus on Fly skill checks.
