SprixBack to Top
Race Points: 14
Sprix are, most simply, elemental spirits, though Sprix are not elementals, rather they are Fey. Sprix are small spirits that are infused with a portion of elemental magic from where the feywilds touch the elemental planes.
Physical Description: Sprix vary in appearance based on what element they are a spirit of though most appear to be made either in part or in whole out of their element and all have a lean build almost like stick drawings at times.
Society: Sprix are very social people though they often annoy other creatures with other fey finding them too mundane in conversation and non-fey finding them too bizarre. Because of this, Sprix often find more of each other and form colonies, carving multi-level cities into the ground supportted with a mixture of wood, stone, and metal. These towns have little or often no structures above ground level and are otherwise dug entirely into the ground.
Relations: Sprix are constantly curious and ask many questions. As with all fey they have a strange almost alien look at world and to how they interact with people, this often makes conversation difficult and annoying with non-fey races though they are similar enough to them that fey find conversation with them equally annoying. Their appearance makes many people assume them to be simple elementals, these assumptions annoy the Sprix to no end.
Alignment and Religion: Most Sprix are chaotic neutral, preferring change and disliking confusing rules that end the fun. Sprix general act with curiosity in mind never with particular malice or benevolence in mind just simple desires and they act with a lack of care in many regards that makes being good or evil difficult as they simply become distracted from their goals.
Adventurers: Sprix are endlessly curious and will often leave their colonies in search of new things, additionally many Sprix will fail to find the colonies and will keep moving from to place joining with anyone who will tolerate them.

ElementsBack to Top
Each Sprix has an affinity with a specific element that decides what other stat increase is as well as some of its other abilities.
Air
+2 Dexterity
