Mutant Mike Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hiya all. Some years ago a friend loaned me his copy of Call of Cthulhu, fifth edition. I am sure that it had stats for fairies in it. I'm hopiing to put these critters into a game. But can't find them in the sixth edition of the game. Is my memory correct, or did I confuse it with another chaosium game? Quote There is fun in fear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Never seen fairies in CoC, but I've never owned any ruleset past v1. Merrie England has stats for several types of Fey Folk, for medieval Europe, but could be used anywhere. If not, you could use the stats for Pixies, as they are pretty much the little, winged mischievous fairies. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

I need more information on different types of Fey so I will have a look at Merrie England but don't want too much game conversion problems. Quote There is fun in fear....

Agentorange Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The original version was for RQ, the version being drafted now is for BRP and is bigger ( about 3-4 times bigger I seem to recall Simon saying ), better and shinier in all respects. I'm rather looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Better, stronger, faster, we have rebuilt it ... The old one was RQ, the new version is BRP. It is as easy to use for RQ as BRP, as I tend to write for a mixed-up/made-up combination of the two. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

SDLeary Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'd have to double check, but weren't their "faeries" in Mallus Monstrorum? I'll check it out and let people know. SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was incorrectly thinking about some of the Avatars of Nyarlathotep... Black Man, Horned Man, Green Man... I thought there was a Servitor Race as well that stated that race could have prompted the legends of the Faeries, but obviously can't find it now.

MrJealousy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 There is nothing that even looks like a fairy in CoC V. There are nymphs and dryads in RQ and Preservers in ElfQuest but thats as close as I get . Quote Mr Jealousy has returned to reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seneschal Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Sling 30%, eh? So it's not pixie dust, after all. It's the stars that you see when you get bonked between the eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Depending on the fey in question, SIZ of 1d6 would make for a mighty big fairy. I'm pretty sure a cat is pegged at SIZ 1. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaot Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 When it comes to fairies does SIZ matter? Especially when they are invisible? Well, it does if you want them to be smaller than a cat. If they're sprites, nixies, pixies, brownies or whatnot their SIZ should probably reflect that. Found this in Miskatonic yesterday and thought of you. STR 1d4 CON 1d4 SIZ 1 INT 2d4 POW 1d3 DEX 2d6+8 Mov 6/3 climbing HP 2 Weapons: Bite 33%, damage 1 Massed Attack 99%, see below Armor: none, but little people are tiny and invisible. While unseen, an attacker's player must roll D100 equal to or less than POW to hit a creature. If visible, their small SIZ and high DEX halve firearm and missile attacks; hand to hand attacks are at full skill. The drunkenness required to see the little people imparts a penalty of its own (up to -30 percentile adjustment to rolls and skills.) Spells: All little people know the Sleep spell. Little people of POW 3 also know Summon Banshee and Unseelie Transformation. All are faerie spells. Skills: Climb 95%, Hide 95%, Jump 90%, Sneak 90%, Spot Hidden 45% Sanity Loss: Enduring an invisible little person's harassment costs 0/1 SAN. Seeing a lone little person costs 0/1d2 SAN. Seeing an angry horde of them or suffering a massed attack costs 1/1d6 SAN. Massed Attack: Little people usually attack only in strength. When swarming, 1d20+5 goblins leap on and try to overwhelm an enemy. If the number of little people overcomes the target's STR when matched on the Resistance Table, the victim falls and loses any attacks that round and the next round as well. Each combat round a victim is swarmed upon and felled, divide the number of attacking goblins by three to determine how many points of bit damage the victim suffers. Round down fractions. The Sleep spell is a group spell the fairies cast. Each provides a mp and then it's mp:POW to see if target falls asleep. Summon Banshee is a blood ritual where one of the little people is killed to summon a big bad monster and Unseelie Transformation is a pact a human can enter in with the little people. When the human dies, the little people collect the corpse and turn the dead human into a living member of the little people. May not be of use to you, but I feel beholden to mention that my favorite version of the Goblin is in one of the Dreamland books. The stats are mostly 1d20s. Gives wonderful randomness. Pair it with a Brian Froud aesthetic and my day is made. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seneschal Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 How would you stat up Arthur Machen/Robert Howard/George McDonald style "little people"? Things That Were Once Men, they have dwindled in size (or SIZ) during their long subterranean exile but have increased in ferocity, decadence, and occult knowledge. They may not even look very human anymore (it varies by author and story) but are much stronger than their child-like statures would suggest. But they still like human women (or men, depending on the fairy's gender). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nclarke Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 How about D4+2 for SIZ, D6+3 for STR, 2D6+6 for APP/CHA for human like appearance as some faeries can be attractive unless you regard that as a glamour. CON should be high - 2D6+6 as should INT, POW and DEX. Nigel Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1d8+DB Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You could aways port over the stats from MRQ for goblins, or trollkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 You could always port over the stats from MRQ for goblins, or trollkin. Thanks. Grrrr, a solution so obvious I didn't see it. It's all about the setup and window dressing rather than the actual stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerd Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sorry for necro, but also new member. There are stats for Tuatha / Sidhe in the Invictus Companion. But you could mine this for ideas: Fairy - Fairy - TARDIS Index File, the Doctor Who Wiki Sidhe - Sidhe (Autumn Mist) - TARDIS Index File, the Doctor Who Wiki Both are likely the same, or related in some way.
