I'm still playing with my Pixie patchset and I've made a number of adjustments. Since my last posting, I have reduced int from +4 to +2, reduced speed bonus from +1 to +5 (at level 1 to 50) and increased the chance to save mana when casting spells / reciting prayers.

Racial bonuses
STR: -5
INT: +2
WIS: +2
DEX: +7
CON: -5
CHR: +6

Speed:
Level Bonus
1 +1
17 +2
34 +3
50 +4

Chance to use less mana on spell/prayer scales with each level. The base chance at level 1 is 10% and at level 50 is 45%. When this roll succeeds, the spell or prayer will consume a random percentage of it's original mana with a minimum of fail_chance * 2 and a maximum of 75% at level 1 and 62.5% at level 50. For practical purposes, this translates into an average mana savings for a Pixie Mage of 4.7% at level 1 and 31% at level 50.

Level Chance Maximum percent of mana used
1 10% 75%
5 12.8% 74%
10 16.4% 72.8%
15 19.9% 71.5%
20 23.5% 70.2%
25 27.1% 68.9%
30 30.7% 67.7%
35 34.2% 66.4%
40 37.8% 65.1%
45 41.4% 63.8%
50 45% 62.5%

I've finally made level 5 after dying many times. The first few levels are really hard with pixie mage because they are so fragile.

Going slow and safe, level 12, 28 HPs and not going beyond 250' (L5) for now.

I've had some good HP rolls. At level 16 I have 39 hit points and the average for this level would be 34, so that is very helpful. But this race starts out so slow since I generally stick to upper levels until I'm high enough that casting detect monsters is easy and doesn't use much of my manna pool, otherwise going much deeper than half my level just isn't safe.

Thank you for your feedback wobbly! I think I'm still interested in perusing this race as a possible addition to the mainline, but I should have probably posted the whole race entry.

As you can see it's a strange combination of bonuses and penalties, like the -1 to digging and -12 to hit with melee -- I figure they aren't naturally inclined to dig and are very weak. But I did give them +3 stealth and maybe that is too low for the fragility. Pixies or faeries in most lore are supposed to be very rare to see anyway (I believe a pixie is supposed to be the slightly larger and often less friendly cousin to the faerie, but still typically a surface dweller).

I had previously had their speed bonus max out at +5 at level 50 and maybe I should leave it that high until I actually complete the game, but I wanted to try the lower levels with a lessor speed bonus -- it's almost impossible without it the +1 early on due to encumbrance. Further, I figure that the speed bonus will probably offset the need for more CON gear over say a ring of speed at higher levels. I'm starting to think that I should just scum my last pixie (died at level 36, but I never posted her) until I win the game so I have a better idea of how this all plays out at higher levels.

WTF? Purifications and Healing on the floor of level 11 and Holy Infusions on the floor of 7!? Lol, I mean I'm happy for the superb treasures but couldn't one of them have been a mage book instead of a prayer book? I'm leaving them in my home until something good is actually for sale in the black market so I don't have to worry about being robbed. :)

Bostock: Hehe, I started this little experiment a few years ago and put it down to do something else. I suppose I can submit it again but I'll have to rebase it. This was accompanied by a full Troll race, but there's no reason I can't easily split it out. But having the feedback of an actual good player would be awesome! :)

Trolls aren't ready because I need to have the game start at sunset instead of morning; they are hurt by light and can't travel more than 5 or so spaces out in open sun before they die and there isn't normally enough food in the dungeon to sustain them because they are ravenous and starve to death pretty easily. Thus, they need to be able to visit the general store for food or have some other mechanisms changed.
