[edit] Loresong Racial Traits
- Loresongs receive a +2 racial bonus to Intelligence and a –2 racial penalty to Strength.
- Small: Because they are Small creatures, all Loresongs gain a +1 size bonus to Armor Class and attack rolls and a +4 size bonus to all Sneak checks. They must use smaller-sized weapons and equipment and can lift and carry only threequarters as much as Medium characters.
- Loresongs are light-footed and quiet when they wish to be, earning them a +2 racial bonus on Sneak checks.
- Loresong base speed is 20 feet.
- Loresongs have an affinity for magic, which grants them a +2 racial bonus to Spellcraft.
- Innate Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day— detect magic, ghost sound, and lesser glowglobe. Use the Loresong’s character level as the caster level.
- Low-Light Vision: Loresongs can see twice as far as humans in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Metamorphosis: A Loresong of at least 3rd character level (in any class[es]) may choose to undergo a metamorphosis. This can occur only at a time when the character normally would gain a new or bonus feat—the metamorphosis is in lieu of the feat. The Loresong secretes a sticky substance that she wraps around herself. The secretion hardens, forming a chrysalis. The Loresong then spends 1d4+3 days in the chrysalis, after which she emerges in a completely different form. Even smaller than before, the Loresong now has gossamer wings that can carry her aloft. She has become a spryte. A Loresong’s gear taken into the magical chrysalis emerges sized appropriately for the character’s new stature.
- Automatic Languages: Common and Faen.
- Bonus Languages: Any.
- Loresong always gain Knowledge (Faens) as a class skill.

[edit] Quickling Racial Traits

[edit] Spryte Racial Traits
Spryte, being the result of a transformation from one of the other kinds of Faen, lose all Loresong and Quickling racial abilities not mentioned below, such as the Quickling’s run ability and the Loresong’s spell-like abilities.
- Fairies receive a +2 racial bonus to Dexterity and a –2 racial penalty to Strength (these modifications stack with either Quickling or Loresong modifiers).
- Fey: Spryte are no longer humanoid in type, but Fey.
- Tiny: Because they are Tiny creatures, Fairies gain a +2 size bonus to Armor Class and attack rolls (instead of the +1 bonus they had while Small), and a +8 size bonus to all Sneak checks (instead of the +4 bonus they had while Small). They must use Tiny-sized weapons and equipment and can lift and carry only half as much as Medium characters. Despite being Tiny, Fairies still occupy a 5-foot by 5-foot area, threaten the areas around them, and do not need to enter another’s area to make a melee attack.
- Spryte base speed is 10 feet.
- Flight: Fairies have thin, transparent wings that allow them to fly at a speed of 30 with average maneuverability. See page 177 for more information on flying maneuverability.
- Low-Light Vision: All Fairies can see twice as far as humans in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Fairies always gain Knowledge (Faens) as a class skill.
- Racial Levels: Unlike Quicklings and Loresongs, Fairies can take a few levels in “Spryte” as a class to further master the aspects of their new form.
