The character would be a really small halfling, although if the some of the stats were directed towards INT, then the character might make a good spellcaster-which is what you'd probably want if you want to kick some tail while being neatly concealed.
Dnd 3.5 tiny player character races Pc#
Lose the wings and most or all of the special powers inherent to the character, but regain the 4 PC levels since those were the penalty for having special abilities moreso than the extra small size. It might be that the downsized pixie be limited to 1hp/level the player would undoubtably be glad to have those big concealment bonuses, and should hope to avoid the backwash of powers being used.įor a 'smurf' type character, who is essentially a halfling scaled down-well, that's basically what these calculations work down from the 'small' character type of halfling/gnome. Grigs at the tiny size category smaller have only (1/2 d6+1) hp ave = 2hp. There will probably be a big hit to HP as well. Of course, since the PC will be going in with a -4 penalty to class level compared to the rest of the group, there probably won't be too many fireballs being tossed about from nowhere. The best strategy is to play an arcane class, hide and use special abilities and use spells from concealment. A downsized pixie character just isn't going to be doing serious damage with little blades or arrows, period. With those examples in mind: it's possible that the reskinned fairy might be as small as 5 inches tall and still count as 'dimunitive', and maybe as small as 1 inch tall and be counted as fine.įrom a truly exacting point of view, that is 'broken', but really doesn't change the crunch a whole lot at that extreme scale, so long as the stats will stay the same. So, I don't think that there is anything broken about the size category rules although page 67 of the DMG3.0e suggests that 'dimunititive' and 'fine' might increasing to an increasing 'logarithmic' scale, and actually represent smaller sizes than I'm suggesting above: with a 'toad' being an example of 'dimunitive' and a 'fly' being an example of 'fine'. There would be a fantastic +16 bonus to hiding.įine sized strength = 1 x (0.75 x 0.75 x 0.75 x 0.75) x 10 lbs = 3.2 lbs.Ī fine sized pixie might be as slow as 20 ft.
9 feet while traveling on foot.Ī fine sized pixie might be 6 inches tallĪn expected strength of 1, a +4 bonus to both AC and attack rolls. If the 2/3 rule is applied to flying speed, (and it's possible not to as the rule is meant to be applied to foot travel) then the dimunitive pixie's flight speed will be reduced to: 60ft x 0.67 x 0.67 = 30 ft.
Strength = 9 x 10 = 90lbs of lifting capacity for a medium sized character.ĭimunitive sized strength = 3 x (0.75 x 0.75 x 0.75) x 10 lbs = 12.6 lbs.Ī small pixie's flying speed is 60 feet. If I remember correctly, base medium strength is 10 lbs/strength stat. There would be an incredible +12 bonus to hiding.Īctual strength only a fraction of a human's. Speed will be reduced down to 2/3rds of the above unless there is a reason to rule otherwise.Ī dimunitive pixie might be 12-15 inches tallĪn expected strength of 3, a +3 bonus to both AC and attack rolls. Actual physical strength in terms of lifting objects is actually 0.75 of what the size category above the character would be. Also, remember that 3.0/3.5 concepts of 'strength' is as a combat stat. If you want to make the Pixie smaller than tiny size, (or want to make any customized size fix) here's a good rule of thumb: place a -2 strength, +1 AC, +1 attack roll bonus, +4 bonus to hide checks per size category reduction. Possibly, the DM can be negotiated with to reduce the level penalty for the new, weaker, smaller size, and of course, further eliminated powers. Pixie would then be about 18 inches tall. Strength is adjusted from an average of 7 to 5, for example. If you really want to play a truly small pixie you can reach tiny size quite easily by taking some of the physical stats of the 'Grig' sprite and reskinning it as a pixie. Basically, the pixie takes a -4 level penalty in relation to the other players and loses its 'Otto's Irresistable Dance' power.
Conversion to a PC found in the DMG3.0e pg. Stats and powers found in the MM3.0e pg, 172,173, very similar to halflings.
I was part of a thread some time ago that involved the number crunching for a sprite.ģe sprite is actually not all that small, a Pixie counts as a small creature and stands 2.5 ft tall basically a slightly shorter, very skinny halfling with long pointed ears and wings. What if you just had a race that was essentially a halfling, but was tiny or diminutive in size? Does the game fall apart?
