Aries are tiny fey, courtiers and emissaries of fey courts and gentry among smaller fey. Long confined only to the deepest fairy glades and to the fairy plane, aeries are becoming more common as the barriers between planes weaken.

Aeries have high opinions of themselves, and thrive on respect and influence. Less concerned with pranks and more with simply enjoying fun and beauty, aeries are creatures of conflicting drives. They are daring and think nothing of challenging opponents several times their own size. Generally stay-at-home types who enjoy the good life, they can be intensely curious when not overtaken by shyness or laziness. They view the world with a curiosity and mirth, and this runs counter to their boisterousness; aeries will often find it convenient to remain hidden to observe the ways of others. They are also highly protective of things around them, and might decide to adopt and protect almost anything as their ward on the spur of the moment.

Aeries prosper in any place of natural beauty or that satisfies their curiosity. A few aeries even live in cities, usually as invisible observers. In areas dominated by evil they try to maintain small hidden havens of beauty. Aeries love to craft beautiful and intricate things, and can get mesmerized by artful devices. In fairy lands, aeries often take on a more active role, as mediators and spokesmen for other small fey and as courtiers in fairy courts.

Physical Description Aries are humanoid fey, about 8 inches in height (a full foot with wings included) and weigh 4 to 8 ounces. They are generally gnome-like in appearance, with gossamer wings that have a wingspan of just over a foot. Like gnomes their hair and skin comes in a variety of colors and often reflects their personality; a shy aerie is likely to have pale coloration, a passionate one bright, one interested in plants is likely to be green, and so on. The generally have graceful builds, but this is not universal. Some aerie are shorter and chubbier, looking somewhat like tiny winged dwarfs others are longer and more graceful, resembling elves.

Society: Aeries are not naturally gregarious among their own kind. They only create societies when several aeries independently decide to live in the same place. This is often often a society devoted to the study and protection of some locale or phenomenon, called their ward. A ward can be anything from a quaint human village to a waterfall or even a storm cloud. Such groups of aeries are very devoted to the focus of the community, letting it inspire everything from clothes to living spaces and they might even change their appearance to resemble their ward. If the wards is a creature, the aeries take on the mannerisms and views of their ward.

Aeries don't have families and young aeries are formed out of raw magic or from the ward of another aerie. It has been observed that a living ward of an aerie can be reincarnated as an aerie after death. Aeries do enjoy a flirt, and those living in complex courts might engage in lengthy courtships, complete with all the pride and prejudice of mortal love.

Relations: Aries often live in the societies of others, either as nobility among the smaller sprites or as courtiers and messengers among elves and larger fey. They admire elves and seek to mingle with them as equals. They are friendly but patronizing to gnomes and small fey, regarding gnomes as plebeian. Aeries are curious about other races when the see them, and often study them and even mimic their behavior, but rarely reveal themselves except to a few individuals, generally artists, children, beggars, or others whose reports on them are unlikely to be believed. Because of this, they remain elusive fairy-tale creatures and other races have no particular preferences or prejudices about them.

Alignment and Religion: Aeries are proud but good-natured and tend toward a chaotic good alignment. Their loyalties and interests are personal rather than familial or patriotic. An aerie will think nothing of opposing another aerie if their interests collide, but such confrontations are rarely belligerent. Aeries with conflicting wards would rather let their favorites quarrel and bet on the outcome than involve themselves directly, at least as long as their ward is sure to survive. If the existence of a aerie's ward is threatened, they will use every trick in their arsenal to protect it.

Adventurers: Aeries sometimes get attached to larger folk and follow them around, often adopting traits similar to their companion. Often seen as little more than familiars to their larger friend, some aeries thrive in being the mind behind the mask, others demand respect and attention in their own right.

Names Aeries often have names that describe them or that sound like titles. An aerie warrior who likes to ride goats might be called sir horn or clovenhoof, an aerie with particularly bright colors might be named indigo or roseblush. Remember than aerie appearance often match their interests, so a descriptive name often gives a clue to the aerie's interests as well.

Movement Racial Traits

Flight Ceiling: Aeries can fly only at low altitudes, to a maximum height of 5 ft. per 2 Hit Dice (minimum 5 ft.).

Senses Racial Traits

Low-Light Vision (Ex) An aerie can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of dim light. It retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Alternate Racial Traits

Ambassador (Sp) Some aeries take it upon themselves to be ambassadors among different types of creatures and can adapt their size to fit in different social situations. An ambassador aerie can use enlarge person and reduce person at will on themselves only and despite not being humanoids. They can also cast comprehend languages at will with a range of touch and Save: Will negates (harmless). This replaces fey reach and all spell-like abilities.

Borrower (Ex) There exists an underclass of flightless aeries that live subsistence lives, scavenging in the homes of larger creatures. Lacking flight, the borrowers have become masters of stealth. Burrowers can cast invisibility (sp) (self only) and misdirection (sp) at will, with a caster level of one. This replaces flight speed, flight ceiling, and the ability to cast vanish (sp).

Droplet (Ex) Some aeries live in and near water. Their flight ceiling ability allows flight only over or near a body of water, they cannot fly elsewhere. They gain the aquatic subtype, the amphibious quality, and a swim speed equal to their fly speed. They can cast water breathing (sp) 1/day. This replaces all the aerie's spell-like abilities and modifies the flight ceiling ability.

Energy Affinity (Sp) Some aeries live close to extreme manifestations of elemental energies or even on the elemental planes. Choose one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. The aerie's hair and wings resembles a mass of the chosen energy (acid aeries have hair and wings that resemble salt crystals). The aerie gains energy resistance 5 against the chosen type of energy and can make a ranged touch attack that inflicts 1d3 points of damage of the chosen type. This attack counts as a missile weapon with a range increment of 30 ft. It has a caster level equal to the aerie's Hit Dice and is subject to spell resistance. This replaces all spell-like abilities.

Energy Wings (Su) The aerie's wings are ephemeral and can disappear when not flying. The fight is magical and has perfect maneuverability. This replaces fey reach.

Fairy Dust (Sp) The aerie sheds light as constant light (sp) and leaves a trail of glowing fairy dust behind when flying. The aerie can suppress this glow and can use faerie fire (sp) at will with caster level 1 and a range of 10 ft. This replaces the ability to use vanish (sp).

Race Trait Options

Aeries can choose among the following race traits, in addition to other trait options.

Clever Companion (Race) You must have an animal companion or mount to use this trait. You replace that animal companion or mount with a familiar, like the one gained from the wizard's arcane bond class feature. You can ride this familiar even if it is the same size category you are, but not if it is of a smaller size category.

Elf Shot (Race) When you use a bow or sling you do not suffer a damage penalty because of a negative Strength modifier.

-Aerie, also known as usagi or rabbit-folk, are humanoids with the physical characteristics of rabbits, much like tengu have the features of crows. They are known for their generosity and devotion.
-'''Physical Description:''' Rabbit-folk are short, about 4'10, with the distinctive ears and tails of rabbits. Most also have human-like hair, marked incisors, and long feet that walk on toes, but these trait is not universal. Beyond these common traits, yatu vary from human to very animal-like in appearance, some having skin, others fur, some having humanoid faces and others rabbit-like snouts or somewhere in between. Both animal-like and human-like rabbit-folk share the full color range of their human and animal parts, with very pale and and very dark colors both somewhat more common than in either rabbits or humans.
+'''Physical Description
+Aries are humanoid fey, about 8 inches in height (a full foot with wings included) and weigh 4 to 8 ounces. They are generally gnome-like in appearance, with gossamer wings that have a wingspan of just over a foot. Like gnomes their hair and skin comes in a variety of colors and often reflects their personality; a shy aerie is likely to have pale coloration, a passionate one bright, one interested in plants is likely to be green, and so on. The generally have graceful builds, but this is not universal. Some aerie are shorter and chubbier, looking somewhat like tiny winged dwarfs others are longer and more graceful, resembling elves.
-'''Society:''' Aerie live in tight communities, usually under conditions humans would consider cramped. They have a great need of social interaction and physical contact, tough this can be restrained and codified in structured societies. Generally serious workers, most aerie are simple farmers, with a special talent for gardening and cultivating rare plants. Ordered and predictable, aerie are generally appreciated by neighbors and often end up in positions of responsibility if not leadership. Aerie society centers on the does, with bucks often in honored positions of little authority or loosely attached to families. Fidelity is not seen as a virtue among aerie, but adolescent males often attach themselves to an elder male who may or may not be their father.
+'''Society:'''
+Aeries are not naturally gregarious among their own kind. They only create societies when several aeries independently decide to live in the same place. This is often often a society devoted to the study and protection of some locale or phenomenon, called their ward.

If the wards is a creature, the aeries take on the mannerisms and views of their ward.
-'''Relations:''' With a mix of tolerance and friendliness, aerie get along well with most other races. Their seriousness can annoy gnomes, while halflings sometimes resent their honesty. Elves look down fondly on aerie, while dwarfs like how aerie let themselves get drunk under the table. Even predatory creatures, like catfolk and gnolls, often appreciate aerie for their willingness to sacrifice, never realizing how dangerously well-organized a group of aerie can be until it is too late. Popular in most camps, aerie are not commonly leaders or politicians.
+Aeries don't have families and young aeries are formed out of raw magic or from the ward of another aerie. It has been observed that a living ward of an aerie can be reincarnated as an aerie after death. Aeries do enjoy a flirt, and those living in complex courts might engage in lengthy courtships, complete with all the pride and prejudice of mortal love.
-'''Alignment and Religion:''' Rabbit-folk are serious, devoted, and hard-working with a natural tendency towards lawful and good alignments. They can devote their loyalty to others even over alignment differences; a lawful aerie makes a good servant for a chaotic nobleman. Likewise, they show little alignment prejudice in matters of faith; they often worship patrons much more chaotic than themselves. Gods of the moon gain their special devotion and love.

-'''Adventurers:''' Their dutiful natures make aerie respond to calls of duty; the most common reason for a aerie to leave their societies is for service in response to an obligation. Such aerie, usually bucks, rarely return to their home and instead serve for life. If the cause for their call is lost, such as if a noble patron dies, they may become wanderers and adventurers. Others adventure in the service of their patron, being trusted to represent their interests far from home.
+'''Alignment and Religion:''' Aeries are proud but good-natured and tend toward a chaotic good alignment. Their loyalties and interests are personal rather than familial or patriotic.

-Aerie can choose among the following traits.
+'''Prerequisites
+Fly 5 ranks, Aerie flight ceiling racial trait.
-'''Bunny Hop''' Acrobatics is a class skill for you. When using the Acrobatics skill to jump, you halve DCs based on the length of the jump. This counts as [[Acrobatics_(Apath)#Assisted_Movement | assisted movement]] and does not stack with the benefits of [[Acrobatics_(Apath)#Assisted_Movement | assisted movement]].
+'''Benefit
+You can ignore the flight ceiling racial trait.
-'''Burrower''' You can burrow through sand and soft earth at a speed of 5 ft., leaving a tunnel behind.
+== Aerie in Greyhawk ==

-'''Forager''' Like your ancient forebears, you can subsist on many kinds of green plants. You gain a +4 trait bonus on Survival checks to find food.

-Acrobatics is a class skill for you. When using the Acrobatics skill to jump, you take only a +2 DC increase per foot you leap upwards, rather than the normal +4. This counts as [[Acrobatics_(Apath)#Assisted_Movement | assisted movement]] and does not stack with the benefits of [[Acrobatics_(Apath)#Assisted_Movement | assisted movement]].
-'''Stomper''' You can stomp the ground to create vibrations easily picked up with tremorsense, and can send messages to others with such senses up to ten times the range of their tremorsense. The Aerie language has special expressions transmitted this way; you can transmit fairly complex messages if both you and the listener knows the language.
