Quickling
A fey cursed with impossible speed stabs and vanishes before anyone can react, though slowing its tempo strips away that edge entirely.
A quickling is a fey cursed with such impossible speed that the world around it seems frozen — a malicious, blink-and-it's-gone trickster that taunts and stabs before anyone can react. Cold iron and the slowing of its tempo are the only things that can pin one down.
In play
- Slow Susceptibility The quickling takes a –2 status penalty to saving throws against effects that cause the slowed condition. If the quickling ever becomes slowed, they lose their supernatural speed, can't Fade from View, and become sickened 1 for the duration of the slow. They also can't reduce this sickened condition for the duration of the slowed effect.
- Can't Catch Me [Reaction] Trigger The quickling is targeted by a Strike; Effect The quickling darts aside, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to AC, then Strides up to half their Speed after the Strike resolves.
