On Fairies



While there's perhaps debate as where and what Pixie Hollow is, it's worth noting that even the Fairies themselves don't understand everything about their home.

Pixie Hollow itself seems to be a Demiplane that connects the First World to the Material Plane. It's even been speculated that Pixie Hollow appeared before the Material Plane itself. Fairies also seem to always know their way home, and can travel back and forth without the use of spells like Plane Shift.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that all the Fairies appear, and apparently are, female. Fairies don't (and can't) procreate and no instances of a male gender Fairy has ever appeared. They do have a Queen (who's advised by several other Fairies of varying talents), who appears to deal with disputes and keep things functioning smoothly.

It's also noteworthy that Fairies don't appear to age. They come into being fully mature; for game purposes with a class level. It's commonly believed that the Hollow itself has some process that allows for the creation of new Fairies, and new Fairies typically appear once or twice a decade. While the exact number isn't known for certain, it's held that the number of Fairies are small; ranging between one hundred and two hundred, a few of which are often away on either of the two connecting planes.

Almost all Fairies use magic in some form and tend to be spontaneous casters; with sorcerers and oracles being the most common to appear. More marital minded Fairies are often rangers or bards; which often depends on their role in their society.

The only known wizards have been Lore-talent fairies who manage the extensive library that the Fairies have been accumulating since nearly their first beginning. There are no known clerics or paladins, as Fairies don't seem to have a deity of any kind; and even Fairies that travel on either of the two connected planes have never adopted one.

Unlike virtually every other culture known, Fairies do not use a form of currency in their daily lives; though they do understand the concept. They simply do according to their particular "talent" without thought of reward or merit.



Pixie Hollow itself is divided into five zones, one for each season plus a central zone where the Pixie Dust Tree is located.   Most Fairies live in or around the Pixie Dust Tree.

On Fairies


Fairy
-2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma

Tiny!*
Fairies are tiny sized Fey creatures. Tiny creatures gain a +2 size bonus to Dexterity and a –2 size penalty to Strength. Tiny races 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. Tiny characters take up a space of 2-1/2 feet by 2-1/2 feet, so up to four of these characters can fit into a single square. Tiny races typically 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. This 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. Tiny creatures typically cannot flank an enemy.

Flight
Frost Fairies fly at a speed of 70 feet with perfect maneuverability.

Low-Light Vision
Frost Fairies have low-light vision to 60 feet.

Homecoming
When on the Material Plane or the First World, a Fairy may always find her way back home; though doing so requires several hours of flight. She must use normal modes of planar travel if not on either of those two planes and wants to return home.

Languages
Fairies start with only their own racial languages (i.e. Fairy); and Fairies with a high intelligence may select from the following list: Common, Auran, Draconic, Sylvan.

Size
The average fairy is 12 inches tall and weights 5 pounds.
