The Brugh Elf is an elf subspecies that dwell within earthen mounds in tunnel complexes known as “Brughs”. Brugh Elves are of slight build and of the same height as Humans. They usually have thick hair, which can be any color. Though Brugh Elves share the pointed ears so commonly associated with elf-kind, their riotous hair often obscures this feature. Brugh Elves are generally capricious, quick- tempered, and indolent. They can also be extremely vengeful for perceived slights, real or imagined. In folklore, Brugh Elves are also known as a type of “fairy” which can lead to confusion with other beings of the same name. Brugh Elves are powerful magicians, with innate magical abilities similar to those of a brownie. They can detect magic at will, become invisible at will, and once per day can cast confusion as a 7th-level caster. Unlike a brownie, however, the Brugh Elf cannot attack or cast spells while invisible. A person peering through a stone with a naturally-bored hole in it can see an invisible Brugh Elf as though by a detect invisible spell. Brugh Elf Magic-Users are particularly formidable, casting spells as through they were one level higher than other Magic-Users at that class level. The Brugh Elf has unique strengths and vulnerabilities related to its fairy nature and ancient curses visited upon their wicked race: • Increased (+1) damage from metal weapons. • Reduced (-1) damage from stone or wood weapons. • Inability to enter any dwelling with a crafted metal object (e.g., horseshoe) placed over its doorway. • An inscrutable mind makes Brugh Elves immune to charm spells or any form of mind control. Brugh Elves typically wield stone-tipped spears or shortbows. They are rarely armored, as they avoid large-scale warfare. When they do wear armor it is fashioned from tough hides of exotic subterranean monsters such as the purple worm. Brugh Elves have a completely alien mindset and inherent magical abilities, so it's not recommended that the GM allow them as a playable race.

Mushroom Men (Fungoids)

1 1o 10 No. of Attacks:

25 to 1,300 Mushroom Men, sometimes called Fungoids, are a race of intelligent creatures found in subterranean and sylvan environments. Their form is manlike, though most have mushroom- cap heads. Most are gray or yellowish in color, but a variety of colors have been reported. They begin life as ordinary-looking mushrooms or toadstools, but continue to grow over the course of about a year to a height of about three feet, at which point they transform, gaining limbs and facial features. Young mushroom men (those having 1 hit die) do not yet speak and generally do not fight, though if cornered they will defend themselves. Each year a mushroom man grows roughly six inches, and every second year gains another hit die (so one will have 2 HD at 3 years of age, 3 HD at 5 years, and so on). They learn to speak their own language at the age of 2 and are considered adults at the age of 7 (at which point a mushroom man has 5 hit dice and stands about six feet tall). Mushroom Men live short lives, most dying of old age before their seventeenth year (at which point any individual still living stands a full eleven feet tall and has 10 hit dice). Mushroom Men have superior Infravision of up to 120', and move so quietly that they surprise on 1-3 on 1d6. However, they are peace-loving beings who will almost never start a fight, though the older individuals are known to be fierce when they are forced into battle.

1* No. of Attacks: 2 claws + Pixie dust

Ward pixies are small winged fairies charged with guarding a stone, grove of elder trees, fungal mass, or other natural object important to the Fairy Court. They appear as diminutive humanoid skeletons, glossy black in color with razor-sharp claws and moth wings. With each successful ward pixie attack there is a 1 in 4 chance that a pinch of ash-like pixie dust will brush off on the target. The target must save vs. Death Ray or immediately despair and attempt suicide. For the next 5 rounds, unless restrained, the victim will attempt to do the maximum bodily harm to him- or herself.
