Pixies resemble tiny humans with colorful butterfly wings (see Winged Races). They're the smallest faerie folk who have any real chance of surviving a dungeon crawl. There are smaller "fairies," but even with magic, they would likely be squashed. Anyway, since most loot is human-sized, delving isn't especially attractive to moth-sized folk.

Determine a pixie's height normally for ST before applying the racial ST modifier, and then convert feet to inches. For instance, a ST 6 pixie would have ST 11 before the racial modifier, and stand 5.4"-6.2". Weight is negligible – 1-2 lbs., should it matter – which makes them fantastically strong for their size, a fact trumpeted by pixie warriors. Regardless of his exact height, treat a pixie as SM -6. This necessitates special rules for equipment; see Tiny Tools.
