Note that this is if the person is actively seeking entrance. A GM may

automatically have his or her party stumble into Fairyland at any time
during an adventure.

Still, England's Trooping Fairies bear humanity

Fairyland

Entering

Fairyland is the magical realm where Oberon

and Titania rule the fairy kingdom. It exists out
of time and out of space with the mortal world,
but it is accessible from this plane. Many
travelers have found themselvesinadvertently
drawn into Fairyland without realizing what has
happened until its denizens declare them
trespassers and savagely drive them off.

Fairyland

from

tbe Mortal

World
Getting there is not easy, though. One has to
be in the right place at the right time. In
general, a character searching for Fairyland will
find his or her way in 5% of the time. Table 2-1

lists modifiers to this basepercentagechance.

Chaos (Sp): This power works similar to the Confusion spelL There are a few
differences, the most important of which is that the effect lasts until Titania cancels
it or until the subjects make a Saving Throw to resist its effects. The effective range
is a circle with a radius of 20 feet. The Save to resist it is a Will one, and it must be
made at DC 22. A new Saving ThtOw may be attempted every round, but it must be
made at a -2 Circumstance Penalty. This penalty does not increase no matter how

actual man, and his affinity fot stealing from

the tich and giving to the poor echoes Robin
Goodfellow's reputation strongly.

He revels in human folly, taking advantage of

any mistake a person makes and punishing the
pOOt fool fot it. Whatever the person's
shortcoming, that's what Puck exploits. He
does not do so to cause hatm. Like most faities,
he simply can't help but be amused by practical
jokes played on human beings. Thus, he
looks for opportunities wherever they
appear, using a person's shortcomings
against them.

Like many spirits, Robin can be vicious when

angered. He totments those who have offended
him unmercifully, and his name is sometimes a
euphemism for bad luck as a result.

Part 3: Irish Fairies

However, Puck has his softet side. Like

most Hobgoblins, he will perfotm
household chores fot a dish of cream.
He never stays very long, though. He
grows bored with such things and must
find amusement elsewhere. He is
especially moved by scorned lovers. He
will seek out those who have done them
wtong and punish them severely.
Robin

Goodfellow

Another famous Hobgoblin in English

mythology, Robin Goodfellow is
sometimes mistaken fot Puck. He is the
son of Oberon and a mortal woman.
He appears much like a faun. He has
the legs of a goat but the upper body
of a man and horns on his head.
Like Puck, he is a playful trickstet who
leids mortals astray and performs other
mischief to amuse himself Howevet, he is also
mOte like othet Hobgoblins in that he can be
vety helpful around the house. He will petfotm
any undone household chores. fot which he
expects to be left a dish of the finest cream.

Irish Faities follow a slightly different model

than those of other Celtic countries. While
they do have theit Little People both
the Irish faity legend
Trooping and Solitaty
has a strong connection to the Tuatha de
Danann, the magical tace of beings that
founded the island nation. Thus, some of the
faity types in this part of the book do not
follow the remplates established elsewhere.
These are noted in theit individual descriptions.
~

He also is tenowned as a champion of the pOOt

and the opptessed. Celtic lotds who opptess
theit lessers (in essence, all of them) can expect
great torment from him until such behavior
ceases. He will especially help the pOOt with
their housework so that they may enjoy a few
carefree moments.

The Sidhe
The Sidhe (pronounced, "shee") comptise the
Trooping Faities in Ireland, but they are not the
minute, winged creatures that are other Little
People. The vast majority of them are the same
size as human beings. They are known

Combat: The Banshee almost never fights. Only a fool would artack her, and she has
no desire to fight another. She simply fulfills her putpose. On occasion, though, a
terrified mortal will artempt to drive her off with physical harm. At such times, she
rakes the fiend with long claws on her fingertips while turning her countenance
fiendish. She will seek to retreat at the first opportunity.
Fairy Sight (Su): The Banshee can see through illusions as if she were under the
effects of a True Seeing spell. This also enables her to see through Glamour. She is
not fooled by any disguise, including a polymorph spell and will always find the petson
she seeks.
Fairy Subtype:

Immune to mind-influencing

effects, Sleep, and disease.

Glamour (Su): While the Banshee reveals herself to mortals more often than any
other fairy (since she must to deliver het baleful warning), she has the powet of others
of her kind to hide herself from human sight. Because she is dtawn to a particular person to give warning, though, she has a powerful ptesence that can be felt by anyone
she passes. Any character passing within 50 feet of the Banshee can make a Wisdom
check at DC 19 to detect her. If it is successful. her Glamour dtops, and the mortal
can see her passing by. She is instantly recognizable for who she is, and the charactet
must make Will Save as though her Keening (see below) was directed at him or her.
However, since it is not, such characters receive a +4 Morale Bonus to the Saving
Throw. Those who fail the Save recover themselves after she has passed on.
The Banshee can, of course, make her presence known to mortals at any time. She
simply needs to drop the Glamour for the human being to see her. She usually only
does this, though, when she has reached her target. Note too that artacking a human
will cause the Glamour to drop just as if she had artacked while under the influence
of an Invisibility spell. Glamour can be raised again as a Standard Action, however, if
the target human spots the Banshee befote this can be done, Glamour will not work.

Magical Penalty to their Armor Classes. Additionally, they must toll a d6 each time
they make an attack toll, Saving Throw, Ot a Skill check. If the result of the d6 throw
is a "5" or "6," the character must re-roll the d20 if it was successful. The character
must keep the less fortunate of the two results.
Dazzle (Sp): Gwyn can create a burst of brilliant light in an area with a radius of 5
feet. The embers of this explosion zip back and forth, seeking the eyes of other targets.
Those in the area of effect when this power goes off must make a Reflex Save at DC
17 or be Blinded for Id10 rounds. Additionally, the embers cause all non-Blinded
characters to suffer a -4 Circumstance Penalty on their attack rolls for rhe duration of
this power' s effects, which last for 18 tounds.

Fairy Dance (Su): Gwyn may participate in the Fairy Dance that lures in mortals and
compels them to dance for a year and a day. He cannot do so alone, though, and must
have at least two other Tylwyth Teg to assist him.
Mortals who catch sight of Gwyn while he is dancing in this circle must make a Will
Save at DC 12 or be drawn in to get a closer look. Once they enter wirhin 10 feet of
the dance, rhey must make another Will Save (DC 15) or join the dance. The only way
to free such a person is ro lay a towan stick in the middle of the circle, thereby breaking
the magic. Any other attempt to break the ring causes the person doing so to be
Cursed. Those caught within the circle must dance for a year and a day, although it
will only seem like a few minutes.
Fairy Sight (Su): Gwyn is not fooled by illusions, seeing through chem as ifhe were
under the influence of a True Seeing spell. This ability also makes him immune to the
effects of Glamour, and he may see the true identity of anyone he encounters, even if
the individual has been polymorphed.

Legendary Welsh Fairies

capacity is married

mythology.

the King of the

he is also associated with
battle and the dead. In fact,
in Arthurian mythology, he is
the conttoller of the demons

capacity, he shows more of

the ancient belief of fairies

as the souls of the dead. He is sometimes

effects, Sleep, and disease.

Glamour (Su): Gwyn is invisible to human beings ifhe chooses to be. Unfortunately,
it's not perfect. Some mortals can see through it. Target chatacters make Will Saves at
DC 16. If successful, the character can see Gwyn. This power has no effect on animals
or on magical creatures.
Gwyn can make his presence known to mortals at any time. He simply needs co drop
the Glamour. If he attacks a human, Glamour drops too, just as if he had attacked while
under the influence of an Invisibility spell. Glamour can be raised again as a Standard
Action, however, if the target human spoes Gwyn before he can do so, Glamour will not
work. Regardless, target humans get a + 2 Circumstance Bonus to the Will Save to see
through Glamour each time Gwyn attacks them. These bonuses are cumulative.

Polymorph

Self (Sp): Gwyn can shape-shift at will. He can become any creature
(including a human) up to Medium Size. The transformation lasts as long as he
desires, but it does sometimes fail. Once per day, he must make a Will Save at DC 14.
If it is failed, Gwyn reverts to his natural state. Because this is, in essence, an illusion,
he may not notice that something has gone wrong. He must make a Spot check at DC
14 or continue acting as though it were still in his polymorphed form.

Fairy Sight (Su): Bfind is not fooled by illusions, She and her sisters see through

effects, Sleep, and disease.

Glamour (Su): Bfind can mask herself from human sight. This power has no effect
on animals or magical creatures. A human being can make a Will Save at DC 16 to see
through the Glamour. If it is successful, Bfind is not invisible to him or her.
She can make her presence known to mortals at any time simply by dropping the
Glamour. If she attacks, Glamour drops as if she had been under the influence of an
Invisibility spell. Glamour can be raised again as a Standard Action: however, if the
target human spots her before this can be done, Glamour will not work. Regardless,
target humans get a + 2 Circumstance Bonus to the Will Save to see through Glamour
each time they are attacked. These bonuses are cumulative.
Grant Wish (Sp): Bfind has the ability to grant a wish to a mortal. She will only
do this for virtuous human beings and then usually only on behalf of a child. That is,
she will grant wishes for a person's child (typically a newborn). She never considers a
wish that benefits the wisher, and she will not grant one to a bad person. The usual
pattern is for her to show up shortly after the birth of the child and then grant a wish
to the family for the babe. In extremely rare circumstances, she will grant a wish to a
person for another purpose, but, again, it cannot directly benefit the person who asks.

Polymorph Self (Sp): Bfind can shape-shift at will. She can transform herself into
any creature (including a human) up to Medium Size. The transformation lasts as
long as she wishes, but it doessometimesfail. Once per day,Bfind must make aWill
Saveat DC 14. If it is failed,sherevertsto her natural state.Because this is, in essence,
an illusion, she may not notice that something hasgonewrong.Shemust make a Spot

the regional modifiets quite fits what you have
in mind. If that s the case, you can simply use
the base template with no modification, or you
can create regional modifiers of your own.

do this process in reverse by just picking the

alteration to the Ability scores on the template.
Sometimes only one score is modified. Other
times several are. Like in the standard game, a
certain amount of balance is the goal. Raising

Not all of the fairies listed in this book strictly

adhere to the model,though. That is, they do

lasts until the fairy cancels it or until the
subjects make a Saving Throw to resist its
effects. The effective range is a circle with a
tad ius of 20 feet. The Save to resist it is a Will
one, and it must be made at DC 15 + the

Fairy's Hit Dice + its Wisdom Modifier. A

new Saving Thtow may be attempted evety
round, but it must be made at a

increase no matter how many times rhe target
character fails the Save.
Affected characters roll on Table 7-3 to
determine what action they take. At the
beginning of each round there is a
50% chance rhar rhe affected
character will continue in his or her
"chosen" acrion. If nor, roll
randomly to derermine a new one.
