Pixie Dust (Special Arrows) (SU) need a ruling


Rules Questions


hello all

i need a ruling on something about the pixie (special Arrows)

Quote:

Special Arrows (Su) When a pixie fires an arrow from any

bow, it can decide to change the arrow’s properties by
sprinkling it with magical pixie dust. Doing so is a free
action as long as the pixie is the one who fires the arrow.
A pixie can generate a number of uses of dust equal to
its Charisma score each day (16 uses per day for most
pixies)—the dust is useless to another creature unless
the pixie gives the dust freely. In this case, the pixie
chooses what effect the dust will have on an arrow
when it is applied, and it takes a standard action
to apply the dust to the arrow. Once pixie dust
is applied to an arrow, the pixie’s chosen effect
persists on the arrow for only 1 round. As long
as an arrow is altered in this way, it does not
inflict damage when it hits—it only causes
its new effect. A pixie can choose any one of
the following three effects when dusting an
arrow. Save DCs are Charisma-based.

Charm: The target must succeed on a DC 15
Will save or be affected as though by a charm
monster spell for 10 minutes.

Memory Loss: The target must succeed
on a DC 15 Will save or be affected by
a modify memory spell (this effect can
only eliminate the previous 5 minutes
of memory—a pixie typically uses
this ability to make the target forget it
encountered the pixie so it won’t chase the
pixie when he flees).

Sleep: The target must succeed on a DC 15 Will
save or fall asleep for 5 minutes.

To answer the last questions...

You as a GM can do ANYTHING you want, but using the pixie dust as a "bomb" doesn't have any RAW effects. It really only effects the bow.

Besides...Pixies are highly underrated...they can make EXCELLENT encounters!

Huh?


Yes, it's magical sleep. Elves would be immune to it. Supernatural abilities are magical. If they weren't magical, they would be Extraordinary abilities. Spell-Like abilities are magical abilities that act like spells (and thus provoke).
