02-24-07, 06:48 PM I have an amusing idea for a character that I really want to play but I can't find a race that fits the concept.

The character is a tiny, somewhat surly, seamstress. She lives in a tavern in a dolls house and she makes clothes for people who are dozens of times larger then she does. She's often drunk because people don't sell beer by the thimble-ful and she lives in a converted toolbox.

Having hands that are less then a centimetre across gives you -really- fine stitching.

I want this character to be less then a foot tall (diminutive in D&D terms).

She's being designed for a Western game. She starts with 18 000 XP which means I can stand a relatively high ECL if that's necessary.

The game isn't combat heavy but combat will be a part of it.

I was thinking pixie but they're actually quite a bit larger then I was thinking. Arguably, if I can't find a better species, I'll use pixies and just make them shorter, but I was wondering if there was something somewhere that fit this concept better.

02-24-07, 08:50 PM I don't have MM3, which is unfortunate, but the only tiny creatures in MM2 are the jermaline, which have no clear character creation rules and are basically rat-people, and boguns, which are constructs.

Neither of them are quite what I'm looking for.

Being able to turn invisible is fun. Thanks for your suggestions.
