Description
Sprites are reclusive fey. They go out of their way to fight evil and ugliness and to protect their homelands. Legend claims that sprites die only through injury or disease.
Grigs are mischievous and lighthearted. They have no fear of larger creatures and delight in playing tricks on them. Favorite pranks include stealing food, collapsing tents, and using ventriloquism to make objects talk.
Grigs can leap great distances. They have light blue skin, forest-green hair, and brown hairy legs, and usually wear tunics or brightly colored vests with buttons made from tiny gems.
A grip stands 1-1/2 feet tall and weighs about 1 pound.
Grigs speak Sylvan. Some also speak Common.
Combat
Sprites fight their opponents with spell-like abilities and pintsized weaponry. They prefer ambushes and other trickery over direct confrontation.
Grigs are fierce by sprite standards, attacking opponents fearlessly with bow and dagger.
Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—disguise self, entangle (DC 13), invisibility (self only), pyrotechnics (DC 14), ventriloquism (DC 13). Caster level 9th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Fiddle (Su): One grig in each band carries a tiny, grig-sized fiddle. When the fiddler plays, any nonsprite within 30 feet of the instrument must succeed on a DC 12 Will save or be affected as though by irresistible dance for as long as the playing continues. The save DC is Charisma-based.
