These malicious and strange fey appear as fairies about 2 feet tall, with insectile wings, large eyes, and bulbous heads. They slaughter and cause mischief in a pattern only their alien intellect understands, but they've been seen to take particular umbrage against dwarves, gnomes, and creatures who live in darkness.

Abilities

Blend with Light (move) —
Lurker's Glow (light, primal) — A creature that takes damage from a lurker in light's mote of light must attempt a DC 22 Will save.

Success The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune to lurker's glow for 24 hours.

Failure The creature is lined in golden light for 1 minute and can't be Concealed during this time. If the creature becomes Invisible, it is concealed rather than being Undetected.

Critical Failure As failure, but the creature sheds bright light in a 20-foot emanation for the duration of the effect. In addition, the creature is Dazzled on its first turn after failing this save.
Ritual Gate (primal) —
Sneak Attack — A lurker in light's Strikes deal an additional 2d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Primal Innate Spells DC 22, attack +14
4th Dimension Door (Only when in bright light, and only to an area in bright light)
3rd Blindness, Searing Light
1st Summon Fey, Summon Fey
Cantrips (4th) Dancing Lights, Ghost Sound, Light, Mage Hand

WORKS WELL WITH

FlankerLAND / AERIALA second mobile attacker creates the Off-Guard conditions that let this fey's precision Strikes land more reliably.
SnareLAND / AERIALA controller that inflicts Off-Guard or restricts movement sets up easy precision Strikes while the fey stays airborne out of reach.

PUNISHES

✖ isolated targets✖ low Will✖ melee-only responses
Avoid pairing with another stealth-ambush skirmisher; redundant concealment options crowd initiative without adding board control.
