Has anyone done Pathfinder stats for the Quicklings from 1st ed.? Another question how much do you think movement effects playability ? See I've always wanted to play a Quickling but my DM says their movement is just too unbalancing ,in 1st ed. they moved at a 90 not sure what that would be in 3.5.
Movement very much affects playability. I currently have a gnome PC with a speed of 20, and he misses a lot of the battles because the other PCs have speeds of 40 or even 50.
In first Edition, humans had a speed of 12, right? And quicklings had a speed of 90? Let's see. 12 is to 30 as 90 is to.....225 feet. WOW! That is really, really fast! That's 900 feet as a run action, 3 football field lengths in 6 seconds!
Quickling stats for 3.5 (in Pathfinder products) can be found in two places:
PFS & PF Module (not AP) spoilers:
PFS #23: Tide of Morning
Come on Majuba ,what is PFS & PF I'm terrible at figuring these things out ?

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Magic Resistance (Su): Quicklings are notoriously difficult to affect with spells and spell-like abilities. They enjoy a +8 racial bonus on saving throws against such effects.
Natural Invisibility (Su): When taking no more than a 5-foot step in natural terrain, a quickling is invisible (as the spell).
Quicker Than the Eye (Su): When moving, a quickling appears to be little more than a blur. Foes suffer a 20% miss chance to strike a quickling any round that is moves more than a 5-foot step.
Really Fast (Su): A quickling can take an extra standard or move action each round, even when surprised.
ECOLOGY
Environment any forest
Organization solitary, pair, or group (4-16 plus 1 1st-level quickling or 1 3rd-level quickling and 2 2nd-level quicklings if 11+)
Treasure standard
These small, slender, extremely fast-moving creatures are said to be a race of brownies who dabbled in magic and mysteries better left alone. Thus, legend relates, the little folk were changed into evil creatures of great maliciousness towards humans, demihumans, and other little people. They dwell in dark woodlands and wild, evil areas.
Quicklings speak several languages, although at a high pitch and too quickly to be easily understood. The quickling race is short-lived because of their accelerated rate of motion. Mature at about 1 or 2 years of age, quicklings die between 12 and 15 years of age.
