Faery's Tale Deluxe - Etud

A brownie can only turn herself, her clothing
and anything she normally carries (such as a
sword) invisible. Anything else, or anything
she picks up after vanishing, remains visible
and appears to be floating in midair unless the
brownie spends 1 Essence. For 2 Essence, a
brownie can turn a friend invisible, but the
friend remains invisible only so long as she
holds hands with the brownie.
A brownie who is invisible cannot be
attacked, but other creatures can try to detect
an invisible brownie using their other senses.
This is a Tricky story challenge (see p. 35).
If a brownie attacks someone while invisible,
that person or animal automatically knows
where she is and can attack her.
A brownie who falls into a healing sleep
after running out of Essence becomes visible
again.
Pookas
Pookas possess the Gifts of Change Form and
Travel Magic.
Change Form
A pooka can take the form of any natural
animal or creature, though she cannot pose as
a particular individual creature. For example,
a pooka may change form into a mouse, but
she cannot duplicate a particular mouse friend
of another faery. Pookas cannot take the form
of magical creatures, such as other faeries or
dragons, nor can they pose as humans.
A pooka can turn into any roughly faerysized
creature, such as an insect or mouse,
at will. Changing form into a creature up to

the size of a cat or dog costs 1 Essence. For
2 Essence, a pooka can take the form of any
creature up to the size of a horse.
When a pooka changes form, she also takes
on the attributes and gifts of the creature (see
Here There Be Dragons: Creatures). Whatever
her form and other attributes, however, a
pooka’s Essence pool remains the same. She
may remain in the new form as long as she
wishes; returning to her natural faery form
costs no Essence. A pooka who falls asleep
from expending all her Essence returns to her
normal form.
Travel Magic
Individual Gifts
Pookas cast travel magic allowing them
to cover vast distances, particularly in
combination with an appropriate animal form,
such as a horse or bird.
Effortless feats of magic, such as traveling
without becoming tired or quenching thirst
or hunger after a long journey, cost your
pooka no Essence. Demanding feats, such as
moving twice as fast as normal, cost 1 Essence.
Difficult feats, such as transporting herself
and any passengers anywhere in the world in a
single night, cost 2 Essence.
Individual Gifts
These Gifts can be purchased by faeries of any
type during the creation process. Each faery
has 5 points to spend on individual Gifts, and
each Gift has a point cost listed beside the
name. Simply pay the points, and your faery
has that Gift.
