Special
Petal Body, Sleep Songs,  Fey Finesse, Durable Flower, ⑨ Kind, -2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Cha
Skills: 6+Int mod, quadruple at first level, Class Skills are Appraise, Balance, Bluff, Climb, Craft(any), Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Listen, Knowledge(any), Move Silently, Perform, Profession, Sense Motive, Survival, Spot,Swim and Tumble

Proficiencies: Simple weapons


Petal Body: The Petal loses all of her previous racial traits and instead gains fey traits (basically low-light vision). She is a tiny sized fey with base speed of 15 feet.

Sleep Songs: Petals can sing two kinds of songs that deal no damage but can lull a creature into a state of relaxation or sleep as a standard action.

Lullaby- Any creature within a 20-foot-radius that fails a DC 10+1/2 HD+Cha mod Will save is affected as though by a lullaby spell. At 4 HD this song imposes a -2 penalty on all Will saves on enemies inside the range, and half that penalty on all Will saves on enemies inside the range that make the save. For each extra 4 HD this penalty gets an extra -1. At 6 HD the Petal can sing this song as a Swift action. At 14 HD she can sing it as a free action 1/round.

Sleep- This song requires two or more petals separated by no more than 100 feet to be singing in unison. Any creature within 100 feet of either singer that hears the song must succeed on a DC 10+1/2 HD+Cha mod Will save or be affected as though by a Sleep spell. Additional petals within 100 feet of a target can lend their voices to the song, strengthening it and increasing the save DC by 1 per additional singer. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by those petals’ sleep song for 24 hours. At 4 HD this can affect up to one creature per HD of the Petal with highest level in the choir. If that petal has 13 or more HD even creatures normally immune can be affected, but they gain a +5 bonus on their saves.

Fey Finesse: A Petal gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat even if she doesn't meet the prerequisites.

Durable Flower: A Petal gains DR/Cold Iron equal to 2 +1/2 HD.

Wings: The Petal can fly at a speed of 60 feet with good maneuverability, but can't fly upwards, and must end her turn on the ground or fall.

At 4 HD, the Petal's wings become strong enough to lift her all day long.


Kind: Petals think of themselves as little geniuses when, in reality, they are mischievous nuissances. This tends to make them forget their own survival instincts. They take hits head on and recklessly throw themselves into danger, confident of their delusionacal superiority.

The Petal counts as a small creature when such would not be benefical for it instead of tiny. So for example they only gain +4 size bonus for hiding and +1 size bonus to attack rolls and AC, but still take -8 in grapple checks and have the carrying capacity of a tiny creature.

At 3 HD some good sense has managed to sneak into the Petal's Brain, and they lose this ability, counting as tiny sized all the time.


Ability Score Increase:
The Petal gains -2 Str, +2 Dex and +2 Cha.

Dunno why I'm spending time in those. Nobody seems to care anymore.
Well still enjoy doing those, I get to train english writing more, and is more productive than random circle gaming discussions. Also there's some sense of honor that people requested them and I will do them.

I appreciate you making these. I always enjoy seeing what ways creatures that are usually NPCs are made playable... Or at least easier to manage. Once I'm able to use more than my phone for getting online then I want to try my hand at making a few of the spookier creatures. :3

I agree - I'm very glad.  You can tell by the fact I post :)

Your stuff is some of my favorites!  Keep it up ... you have created something meaningful and cool!

Best,
David

Really liking the Petal, one of favorite Fey.

I don't imagine the sleep abilitywill ever get use without Leadership for most PCs. Maybe a feat that allows a petal to use it by them self a small number of times per day?

Also it doesn't appear they have Perform on their skill list, which is weird for a class with a main ability involving singing I think.
Im really bad at what I do.
A+

Added new feat and perform to the class skill (can't believe I forgot the last one).

I like it too, and appreciate your work.

A good counterpoint to the pixie or coure or sylphs out there.

We can have a four person party of completely unrelated by outwardly similar fey-ish monsters now. Fey campaign anyone?

I've always liked Fey, particularly for their contrasting portrayals in history. Sometimes viewed as well-intentioned pranksters, other times as horrible monsters more terrifying than anything Lovecraft ever envisioned. I believe now they've struck a balance between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, and that would make a fantastic campaign. The two Courts, constantly opposing each other, with the PC Feys caught in the middle (and likely the entirety of the mortal races). It'd be a fun time, that's all I can say.
The Paladin Code: Detect Evil, Smite it, ask questions later.

Actually, at least checking the list, we don't have gloura or slyph, the other two fairy monsters, done, probably because those monsters are playable out of the box.

That and both those and the pixie are small, whereas petal and coure are tiny. Ofc Eladrin in 3.5 are basically extradimensional Seelie, only without the whole 'incomprehensible to mortals blue and orange morality' bit.

I'm rambling. Should make a sylph class, get the ole homebrew juices going again.

No, just that the sylph was only requested relatively recently and nobody asked for a gloura as far as I'm aware.

But the sylph doesn't look that hard actually...
