The Three Fairies are up! Sunny, Luna and Star are now available.
These three are some of the more fun characters to make. I think that's because they aren't focused on fighting, but instead have useful abilities that complement each other well. Sunny can use invisibility, Luna can use silence, and Star has her detection. There's also the fact that the Three Fairies manga was how I got in to Touhou, as it charmed me with how innocent the series was. It was relaxing to read.
However, I had to work out a way to use these in concert. A problem I've come across in games is that players have different initiatives, so they are unable to move together. If they choose to ready their action, to allow them to move up with their allies, then they can't take their normal action.
So, I added in a Fairy Gang rule to all fairies. This allows them to forego movement on their own turn in order to move as a reaction to a fairy within 15 ft. of them moving, before the beginning of their next turn.
This came up because the Three Fairies are often depicted as moving as a group, with Sunny and Luna keeping the three of them hidden. You can't actually do this in D&D normally, so I added in the rule.
Anyway, the Three Fairies are now ready to be a fun non-combat encounter. Although, Sunny can hold her own in a fight. They can also be good practice for DMs who want to try out using low CR creatures that need to outsmart the PCs in order to be threatening.
No Clownpiece? Well, I'll get to her once I work out how to do higher CR creatures. I'm doing a bunch of low CR creatures for now, and I might do some extreme CR creatures as well. Hard, yet beatable creatures are the most tricky, I'm finding.
