Fey-Touched

[Where an image would go, If I had one]


Personality: Like the fair folk, their anger is less a scale than it is an on/off switch. That said, unlike the fair folk, the won't get insanely angry over some minor detail or slight.

Physical Description: Fey-Touched appear to similar to the race of their non-fey parent, but usually more graceful and almost always have some unusual feature setting them apart.

Alignment: Fey-Touched tend toward Chaotic, thought the influence of the fair folk isn't sufficient to sway all of them away from law. A Fey-Touched might be swayed toward good or evil, by their fey ancestors presence in the seelie or unseelie court, but as either is possible, Fey-Touched as a whole don't bear a significant disposition toward Good or Evil.

Religion: Having no culture of their own (aside from the culture of the fey courts, which doesn't really count), Fey-Touched will tend toward whatever religions are present where they were raised.

Names: Fey-Touched are usually named by the non-fey parent, and as such are named as a member of their non-fey parents race.

Long story short, a friend of mine wanted to play a Fey-Touched in a game, but they're not worth the +1 LA they had (net +2 to abilities, immunity mind affecting effects, +2 on two skills, 1/day charm person). So I added a few abilities, and made the ability scores less suck.
They get a bit of magic, but never before the ECL it would be available, and only ever up to third level SLA.
I intend to add more races, more fey abilities, and more spell lists, but having got 3 fey abilities, 3 spell lists, and non-fey abilities for each Players handbook race, I figured it was a good point to post it, get some feedback, and maybe get some advice for further abilities.
