Hello all,
One of mine players want to play a tiny Leprachaun with a LA of +0/+1 with LA buy-off, but preferable LA+0.
So I did some googling and found a homebrew Leprachaun on DANDwiki.com (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Leprechauns_%283.5e_Race%29).
I used this one as Base template and made the following adjustments;
additional -2 con
small to tiny
reduced base land speet to 10ft
removed pot of gold
removed spell-like abilities (he is gonna play sorcerer anyway)
added a restriction to compenents used for spells (same as spell component pouch).
This makes the following template
Leprachaun
Personality
Leprechauns are small happy go lucky people, constantly laughing and playing pranks on passerbys.
Physical Description
Leprechauns are around 2 feet tall in height and can weight anywhere from 5-8lbs.
Relations
Leprechauns like all types of people, no matter the size, age or sex. They are all around friendly people. That said, victims of their pranks may not feel the same way.
Alignment
Described as neither wholly good nor wholly evil, they are either Chaotic Neutral or Neutral, as they are very unlikely to follow any sort of rules.
Lands
Leprechauns can be found all around the world, you just have to know where to look.
Religion
Leprechauns religion varies from leprechaun to leprechaun.
Language
Leprechauns speak Common and Sylvan
Names
Leprechaun names can vary from anything simple to the complex.
Racial Traits
+4 cha +2 Dex -6 str -4 con: Leprechauns are very good at talking, and are agile, but due to their Tiny size they are squishy.
Tiny( humanoid/fey ): Leprechauns are a tiny version of a human, this caused by their Fey heritage
Tiny:Leprechauns a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +2 size bonus on attack rolls, a -8 size bonus on grapple attemps, and a +8 size bonus on Hide checks, but he uses tiny weapons than humans use, and his lifting and carrying limits are 1/2 of those of a Medium character.
Leprechauns base land speed is 10ft
Leprechauns are to tiny to use the larger components used for spells; they can use all the material components and focuses needed for spellcasting, except for those components that have a specific cost, divine focuses, and focuses that cost more the 20gp. (AK same restrictions as spell component pouch).
Lucky/1day: Once a day a leprechaun may re-roll any one die to try and get a better result. Out of the 2 roles the leprechaun always takes the more desired one
Automatic Languages:Common, Sylvan. Bonus Languages:Any language except for secret ones, such as Drudic.
Favored Class: Sorcerer
Is this template balanced? Not overpowered or underpowered? I placed the component restriction due to the fact that a caster prefers to be tiny (more AC, Hide Bonus, attack bonus (ranged touch)).
Thanks in advance,
Barttjuh
