Star Sprite Puppet (3.5e Class)

Geno, the most famous Star Sprite

Star Sprite Puppet

Star Sprites dwell way above the Earth amongst the Stars in Star Road. They act as guardians of the Earth and are governed by a "higher authority." Star sprites are mostly in an amorphous form that looks like a small ball of light. Some say they can even hear the faint sound of small bells ringing when near a Star Sprite in their natural form. However, when Star Sprites travel to Earth they possess a puppet form. These puppets are specifically manufactured to combat any threats to the stability and peace of Earth.

Making a Star Sprite Puppet

Racial Traits: +2 Wis, -2 Str; Medium, 30ft base speed; can revert to natural sprite form a Diminuitive ball of light that is incorpereal and has a fly speed 15ft (average). In Sprite forms, none of the Puppet attacks or special abilities can be used.

Abilities: Star Sprites rely on their Dex for attacks and Wis for the effectiveness of their special abilities.

Alignment: Star Sprites are almost always lawful and see it as their duty to keep order and peace throughout the world. They tend to be good-natured but some will fall into neutral as they can be a little egotistical and self-centered.
