51939, Pixies: Can we have a preview of what to expect of this race? PPWSOT?

I would like to see them and soon.
51941, Me too

I am expecting them to be like pixies. I'll even play one if I can't be evil ( but I will complain)

My guess is that Pixies will have a str score of 2, a dex of 25, and be 2 sizes smaller than gnomes. They'll be a thief/mage hybrid class with a small mix of druid/ranger abilities. Their equipment will be limited not only by their low carry weight, but will probably be limited to ultra-light pixie-only gear.

OR

Same stats, skills - Hand-to-hand, dodge, spinebreaker. Spells - Faerie fire, Pixiedust (+cha affect, as well as a thief mind control poison affect limited to "remove pants", and "tickle TARGET")
51957, See, that is why I do not like the idea of pixies.

They are silly.

CF is a hardboiled, no-nonsense dark fantasy game, and there is already too much clownship in it without the pixies.
51961, I don't see CF that way. I can think of a couple people who would enjoy and

play them well I think.

assuming they are typical fantasy types.

Let's have less PK padding and some RP.

Me thinks you protest to much.
51973, Whatever. I will quit the day I see a pixie online.

I hope they will be seasonal so I can at least play during the other seasons.
51989, I'll donate $50 to CF if Pixies are brought in and made a permanent race today.

Fo'real.
51990, Make it $200
Posted by Tsunami on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
And make it halflings.
51991, Yeah, halflings are fine :)

51999, Halflings

Are we not due for a small race with some decent DEX for a change. Right now Arials trump the scene with 25 dex, and I can never figure out if I'm supposed to have a beak, or feathers, or what exactly the deal is when I have one ^ ^
52000, Yeah. I just want a dexy race that isn't mayfly short-lived.
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Whatever the actual lifespan hour-wise, I just don't like the flavor of it being shorter in years than human.

Talshidar or halflings would do nicely.
52009, elf/dark-elf are both dexy and are the 2 longest lived races..

52033, Elves. Meh. What I was trying to say was:
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I like arials, on paper, but them being short-lived just turns me off, I do not like that flavor.

Halflings sound like something I might actually play.
52015, Me thinks thee doth protest to much.
Posted by Frequentplayer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I think you're a closet fairy.

Pixies are something I have wanted for years.
52034, I want to slap you when you say this

The quote is "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Also it doesn't mean what you think it does. To "protest" in Shakespearian parlance is to "vow."
52037, How thine hand itches!
Posted by Frequentplayer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I was paraphrasing, not quoting.

I'll be surprised if you get the hand itching reference even if you are a self described Shakespearian.
52035, Yeah, sure
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Play one, flutter around people shouting "Hey! Hey! Listen! Listen!"
Where's my flyswatter...
52036, I just think it's odd how vehemet you are about this race. I really hope it drives you away whenit comes into being.
Posted by Frequentplayer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I'd rather have limp wristed pixies around than enemas like you.
51992, Don't be a fruit. If you don't like it, kill it. n/t
