Bookas are a peaceful faerie race, related to pixies and
sprites. Bookas are about one foot tall, with slender bodies. They
have long pointy noses and broad ears, and would be considered
homely by human standards. Their wings are delicate, and colored
like butterfly wings. Bookas speak Sylvan, and many known Elven and
Common, and some even speak the secret language of
rogues.
Bookas make their lair in the homes of men, usually
in farming communities and rustic settings. They spend most of their
time in an idyllic lifestyle, harming no one, and living in attics.
The fey form a symbiotic relationship with the inhabitants of the
house, helping with chores in exchange for a place to live - but
they flee to a new home if their nest is discovered or if they are
disturbed in their chores, and take revenge if the owners harm them.
Bookas usually only reserve their pranks for evil or harmful
creatures.
COMBAT
Bookas are one of the most
peaceful races in the world, and do everything possible to avoid a
fight. They are all but helpless in combat, and seek to turn
invisible and flee if attacked. Bookas bite if cornered, but though
the bite is painful, it is no more damaging than a paper cut. If
another creature has angered a booka, the little fey may take steps
to seek revenge, setting up traps which are painful or even
deadly.
Invisibility (Su): Bookas can become invisible
at will. This is so basic to the nature of the creature that they
can do it anytime, even when engaging in another action.
