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 many times the tatget chatacter fails the Save. Affected characters tOll on Table 7-3 (page 70) to detetmine what action they take. At the beginning of each tOund there is a 50% chance that the affected chatacter will continue in his or het "chosen" action. If not, tOll tandomly to determine a new one.

Glamour (Su): Like all fairies, Titania can remain hidden from mortal view. This ability allows her to be invisible to human beings bur has no effect on animals or on magical creatures. Unfortunately, it's not perfect. Some humans can see through it. Any human character can make a Will Save at DC 14. If it is made, the character can see Titania.

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.

Glamour (Su): Gwyllion can remain hidden from mortal sight, although they do not often choose to do so. Because they revel in tormenting human beings, they will allow themselves to be seen. However, Glamour does cover their true natures, and they can vanish, usually after a human being has found them out and artacked. Penerrating a Gwyllion's Glamour tequires a Will Save at DC 14. Once recognized for what they truly are, a chatacter can choose to play along the Gwyllion may be fooled or act otherwise. Artacking a human while masked by Glamour causes it to drop just as if the Gwyllion had been under the effects of an Invisibility spell. Glamour has no effect on animals or magical creatures. It only affects human beings. ~

Curse (Sp): When Gwyn is particularly angry, he will inflict a Curse on the target of his displeasure. Victims must make a Will Save at DC 30 or suffer a permanent -2 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.

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.

Illusion (Sp): Mab can create illusions. They are visible, make sounds, have smells, etc. The only thing that they cannot be is touched. Once someone touches onc of her illusions, it vanishes. The power only works on human beings. Animals, magical crcatures, and other fairies are unaffected by it. It has a range of 400 feet. When it is seen, every person gets a Will Save at DC 17. Those who succeed do not see the illusion. Those who fail see it and believe wholeheartedly in it. They cannot be convinced otherwise until the thing is touched and vanishes.

Fairy Sight (Su): Red Cap is unaffecred by illusions. He sees rhrough rhem as if True Seeing had been casr on him. This abiliry also makes him immune to rhe effecrs of Glamour, and he may see rhe true idenriry of anyone he encounrers, even if rhe individual has been polymorphed.

Glamout (Su): Red Cap has rhe abiliry of most fairies to remain hidden from mortal sighr. He will use rhis power ro sneak up on rhem, getting close so rhar he can make an attack. Glamour has no effecr on animals or magical creatures, rhough, so ir is possible rhar a noble steed or orher creature mighr warn its master of rhe fiend's approach. Human beings can see rhrough Red Cap's Glamour just like orher fairies. The DC for rhe Will Save ro do so is 16. Red Cap rypically creeps up close and arracks.

Fairy Sight (Su): BŽfind is not fooled by illusions, She and her sisters see through them as if they had True Seeing casr on them, This ability also makes them immune to the effects of Glamour, and they may see the true identity of anyone they encounter, even if the individual has been polymorphed,

effects, Sleep, and disease.
Glamour (Su): BŽfind 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, BŽfind 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): BŽfind 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): BŽfind 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,BŽfind 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 check at DC 14 or continue acting asthough it werestill in her polymorphed form.

Regional
that region. You can rake a similar approach in your own campaign. It's possible that none of 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.
Modifiers
Once you've picked a template, choose which specific type of fairy you are creating. You can do this process in reverse by just picking the type of fairy you wanr to create at the
beginning. For example,if you wanted to creare
The established ones share certain common characteristics. First, they usually make an 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 one Abiliry by +2 is not a large modification. Raising several of them is, and so is raising one or more by +4. Such raises should be balanced is somehow. Dropping another Ability by often a good check.
a Tylwyth Teg, you would select the Tiny Fairy Base Statistics since you know that the Tylwyth Teg regional modifiers designate rhat they are Tiny in Size. However, you might have decided to create a kind of fairy, and then looked for the specific one rhat fits what you wanr to do. In this case, the regional modifiers step is second.

Not all of the fairies listed in this book strictly adhere to the model,though. That is, they do not take the proper base statistics and then apply individual regional modifiers to them.

Some humans can see through it. Whenever a fairy uses Glamour against a person, the target character makes a Will Save at DC 14. If it is made, the chatacter can see through the fairy's Glamour. Fairies can make theit ptesence known ro mortals at any time. The fairy simply needs to drop the Glamour and the human being can see it. Note too that attacking the human will cause the Glamour to drop as well, just as if the fairy had attacked while under the influence of an Invisibility spell. Glamour can be raised again as a Standard Action, however, if the target human spots the fairy before this can be done, Glamour will not work. Regardless, target humans get a +2 Circumstance Bonus ro the Will Save to see through Glamour each time rhe fairy artacks them. These bonuses are cumulative. Polymorph Self (Sp): Fairies can shape-shifr at will. The fairy can ttansform itself into any creature (including a human) up to Medium Size. The ttansformation lasts as long as the fairy wishes, but it does sometimes fail. Once per day, the fairy musr make a Will Save at DC 12. If ir is failed, the fairy revetts to its natural state. Because this is, in essence, an illusion, the fairy may not notice that something has gone wrong. It must make a Spot check at DC 12 or continue acting as though it were still in its polymorphed form.

Powers
Fairy Powers are magical abilities that fairies use on mottals. Many of them imitate spell effecrs. All Fairy Powers are usable at will unless otherwise noted. You select a number of Fairy Powers based on the template you are using and any regional modifiers. So, for example, if you were creating a Seelie fairy, you would select three Fairy Powers since Seelie gain one bonus Fairy Power and they use the Diminutive Fairy Base Statistics, which grants two.
the condition. The duration for this ability is permanent unless the fairy that Blighted the characrer revokes it. Blink (Sp): The fairy may "blink" at will as though the Arcane Spell of the same name had been cast on him or her. All attacks on the fairy suffer a 50% chance to miss. Spells caSt againSt him or her fail 50% of the time. However, there is a 20% chance for the fairy's own arracks to fail too. The fairy can cancel this ability as a Move Equivalent Acrion.
Table 7-2 has a complete list of Fairy Powers. Descriptions of each follow. Blight (Sp): This is a devastating power feared by morrals everywhere. It is the ability of the fairy to inflicr a permanent debilitating condition on the target, usually in punishment for violation of some tenet of fairy morality.
Tiny Fairy BaseStatistics (cont'd) Glamour (Su): This is the ability of the Little Peopleto temain hidden. It allows them to be invisible to human beings. It has no effect on animals or on magical creatures. Unforrunately, it's not petfect. Some humans can see through it. Whenever a fairy uses Glamour againSt a person, the target character makes a Will Save at DC 16. If it is made, the characrer can see through the fairy's Glamour. Fairies can make their presence known to morrals at any time. The fairy simply needs to drop the Glamour and the human being can see it. Note too that attacking the human will cause the Glamour to drop as well, juSt as if the fairy had attacked while under the influence of an Invisibility spell. Glamour can be raised again as a Srandard Acrion, however, if the target human spots the fairy before this can be done, Glamour will not work. Regardless, target humans get a +2 Circumstance Bonus to the Will Save to see thtough Glamour each time the fairy attacks them. These bonuses are cumularive. Polymorph Self (Sp): Fairies can shape-shift at will. The fairy can transform itself into any creature (including a human) up to Medium Size. The transformation lasts as long as the fairy wishes, but it does sometimes fail. Once per day, the fairy muSt make a Will Save at DC 14. If it is failed, the fairy reverts to its narural state.

Chaos (Sp): This power works similar ro rhe Confusion spell. There are a few differences, the most importanr of which is rhar the effect 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
