Standing precisely two inches tall and weighing less than a single copper coin, this creature is no larger than a teacup or a human thumb. Despite its micro-size, it moves with fluid agility, light on its feet and able to dart across surfaces without leaving a trace. It resembles a miniature elf or gnome with deeply sun-browned skin, sharp facial features, and oversized, brightly inquisitive eyes (typically blue or amber). Its pointed ears twitch in response to the faintest sounds. Clad in a meticulously crafted patchwork tunic woven from individual wool threads, secured by a belt fashioned from a beetle’s antenna. It wears a heavy-duty leather apron lined with microscopic pockets for storing its crafting tools.

Keen senses (Ex): Brownies have amazing senses of hearing, smell, and sight. +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

If cornered brownies attack with their Tiny swords.

Brownies prefer not to engage in combat, and only do so if threatened. Angry brownies rarely meet their foes in hand to hand combat.
