Pixie dust is a
well known magical commodity. Its primary use is for flight, and
occasionally as an additive to creating magic items such as Glint.
Everyone knows that a pinch of Pixie Dust over your head lets you fly
if you think happy thoughts; but there are other methods to use it.
Pixie Dust can be snorted, injected, or eaten which has different
rates of absorption and slightly different uses. Pixie Dust grants
flight, but also grants better memory and imagination while under its
effects- making it easier to create and imagine happy thoughts.
Daydreams can nearly feel real while under the effect of Pixie Dust.
This, along with its effects to lighten weight and grant a feeling of
floatiness, means that sometimes people become habitual abusers of
the stuff.
Pixie Dust grants
flight for up to 3 combat rounds for a sprinkle, and requires a
constant stream of happy thoughts- the character cannot be suffering
form depression or mind control that would interfere with the
creation of happy thoughts. Pixie dust is found as a natural
by-product left behind by fairies, who can be bottled and shaken to
find more of it. Pixie Dust is also known to accumulate in houses in
the realms of the fae- their tabledust is our pixie dust, but
gathering it is as dangerous as you could imagine. Those realms are
not kind to normal people.
Pixie Dust costs 150c for a cut, low quality dose and 400c for a high quality pure dose.

You
are an addict. You are addicted to Pixie-Dust and all of its forms.
Pixie Dust you imbibe can be cut with other forms of dust; usually
salt or bone powder, up to 50% of its volume. This reduces its
effects by the same percentage. You must use up at least one unit of
Pixie Dust every three days, or else you will start to gain
withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal from Pixie Dust causes temporary
obesity, slowness, depression (cured instantly with application of
new dust), and bumbling rhyming speech similar to becoming a
fairy-troll. You start with 2d6+2 sprinkles of Pixie-Dust.
As an
addict, you are more aware of the effects of the dust on your body,
and how to best use them. You can snort or inject the dust which
grants double the rounds of combat use- but instead of true flight it
grants a type of weightlessness that lets you run up and down walls,
jump far distances as though nearly weightless, attack from
impossible angles, do flying bicycle kicks, etc.
You
are criminal. You can pick locks equal to a thief of one level lower
then yourself. At 6th
level, you gain the ability to sprinkle some of your precious dust on
a lock to have it unhook and just fly away. You also gain +1 to
stealth and sneak attacks at 4th
and 8th
level.
Your
time in the air has granted you some nimbleness not normal for
non-flying beings. You get +1 to hit and AC while in flight, which
increases to +2 at 3rd
level and +3 at 9th
level.
At
10th
level, you become a Pixie
Pusher and
are so effected by the drug your body starts to accommodate to it.
You need a dose of dust every day now, but you can simulate the
effects of pixie dust once per day; either a single round or flight
or two rounds of near-weightlessness simply from how much of the
stuff has infested your body. You also come into possession of three
bottled fairies; bottled fairies can be shook to collect a dose of
dust per day for sale or future use, or they can be let out to heal a
mortal injuries and revive the nearly dead, OR they may grant wishes,
but try to twist them against you if their imprisonment was
especially cruel.
