Nathair Sgiathach (Intermediate God)[]

Nathair Sgiathach is one of Io's offspring, but he does not concern himself with the affairs of other dragons. He has found his home with the chaotic sylvan deities and the delightful sylvan woods. There, he indulges his curiosity, love of play, and his love of pranks with the faerie folk. The god himself is both pompous and self-deflating and loves a prank or quip at his own expense (though he is swift to come back with a prank or bon mot of his own). Despite this levity, the god of faerie dragons loves the faerie folk, and his powerful magical abilities are a great resource which Titania and the others readily recognize.

Role-playing Notes: Nathair Sgiathach's avatars are frequent visitors to Prime Material sylvan settings, where they look for the chance to have harmless at fun at the expense of other beings. Childish trickery—such as casting illusions that make one of the large folk's behinds glow bright red and appear as the source of a folk tune (a simple phantasmal force effect)—amuse the avatars greatly. Nathair's avatars will defend threatened sylvan folk, however, although they prefer to drive off any wouldbe attackers while making them look silly rather than killing them. Finally, the avatars have a deep fondness for apple pie, but the pie must have honey and sultanas (like strudel) to really impress them.

Nathair Sgiathach's Avatar (Illusionist 19, Priest 17)[]

The avatar appears as a tiny, thin-bodied dragon with a prehensile tail, gossamer butterfly wings, and a huge smile (as huge as it can be for a 2' long being). His priest spells come from the following spheres: all, animal, chaos, charm, elemental, plant, and weather.

Str 10
Int 18
MV 6 fl 36
AC -2 (-6)
#AT 1
Dex 19
Wis 12
SZ T (2')
HD 10
THAC0 11
Con 10
Cha 18
MR 115%
HP 80
Dmg 1d4 (bite)

Special Att/Def: The avatar is immune to paralyzation, petrification, all elemental, enchantment/charm and illusion/ phantasm spells, weapons below +3 enchantment and all spells below 5th level. He is always in a state of improved invisibility, even when fighting or spellcasting. The dragon's breath weapon (usable 12/day) is a 20' cube of euphoria gas; victims must make a saving throw vs. breath weapons at —6 or be blissfully incapable of any offensive action, preferring to wander about aimlessly picking and sniffing daisies or whatever flowers may be available. The avatar can polymorph any (inanimate) object 6/day, and he enjoys turning weapons into teddy bears and suchlike.
