Trait specifications
Pixies are Fey creatures. For the purpose of spells
they are considered to be both Humanoid and Fey.
Thus they can be targeted by spells such as Charm
or Hold Person, but are also affected by Protection
from Evil and Good.
Pixie Magic is something that Pixies can not control,
but it does not put the Pixie in danger. Walking on
a floor, sitting on a table, touching a wall, sleeping
on something does not trigger the shrinking effect.
Using items attached to other items, such as a door
or a sword deeply embedded in a wall will not
trigger shrinking effects. Special items may be im-
mune to Pixie magic, especially items that have spe-
cific interactions with Fey in general. These items
do not shrink and can thus not be used by a Pixie.
It is entirely up to the DM to call when items can
or can not be shrunk or used in specific ways when
shrunk. Pixie Magic is mainly the ability to be able
to use items just like other races without penalties.
Pixie’s ability of limited flight makes them, while
able to move their wings, unable to take falling
damage. They can however still be knocked prone.
Exposed wings’ save DC can be altered as the DM
sees fit, as all crits are not created equal (there is a
difference between being hit by a great sword and a
fist) but 13 should be the normal target.
While flying, Pixies emit a faint humming sound. If
they use invisibility, they can not be seen by
normal sight, but have to use stealth with advan-
tage to avoid being heard.
