Sprites dwell in meadows
&& wooded glens.
They are very shy and reclusive,
but they hate evil and ugliness of all sorts.
They are armed with slim
swords (equal to daggers) and small bows with but half the range and effect
of a short bow.
Sleep arrows: However,
their arrows are coated with a special ointment which causes any creature
struck to save <vs.> poison or
sleep for 1-6 hours in a
comatose state.
The sprites will then slay
evil creatures or remove good ones to a place far from where they encountered
the sprites.
Note that sprites are 75% likely to be unnoticed by any creature, and they will attack only evil creatures unless molested first.
Sprites are able to become
invisible
at will, detect good/evil at a 5" range,
and move silently. <%=?>
When invisible they cause
opponents to strike with a -4 on "to hit" dice.
Sprites speak their own language
and the common tongue.
