====== Faerie (Restricted/Limited) ====== Faeries are elemental beings of magic, whimsy, and contradiction. They embody both the calm serenity and destructive chaos of nature. Playful, curious, and unpredictable, they are attuned to one element and see the world through that lens. ---- ===== 🌍 Lore ===== Faeries commune deeply with the elements, forming a personal bond with a single one. This affinity shapes their magic, temperament, and appearance. Known for their love of games and mischief, Faeries behave like children with the wisdom of seers. Their elemental power is potent, but their physical forms are delicate. ---- ===== ⚔️ Racial Traits ===== **Advantages:** * May purchase **Resist Elemental**, and gain **1 free Resist Elemental (Specific)** every **5 levels** * May purchase **Resist Charm** * May purchase **Channel Element**, allowing elemental packet throws per level * If choosing the **Elementalist** class, may **specialize a magic column at half cost** * May “**fly**” when not in hand-to-hand combat, rendering them **immune to confining effects** * Represented by wearing a **glowstick at the small of your back** **Disadvantages:** * Must choose a **single element** at creation; may only cast spells and use abilities related to that element * May only use weapons made of **natural materials** (stone, wood, bone, etc.)—metal sensitivity * May **not purchase Two-Handed Weapon skills** or their Masteries * May **not purchase Strength bonuses**, and must pay **double XP for Proficiencies and Specialty Fighting skills** * May **never learn Terminal Strike or Cleave** ---- ===== 🎨 Costuming Requirements ===== * **Four-panel wings** (required at all times) * **Pointed ears** (required) * **Veins in the color of your chosen element** on all exposed skin * May also use **glitter, face paint**, or other decorative elements to enhance whimsy ---- ===== 🧭 Roleplay Tips ===== * Your bond to your element defines you—reflect that in personality, behavior, and mood swings * Be mischievous but mysterious—never completely trustworthy or predictable * Interactions should feel like a game to you, whether friendly or dangerous **Play a Faerie if you want to channel elemental magic, dance between serenity and mischief, and bewilder those around you.**
