Keen senses (Ex): Brownies have amazing senses of hearing, smell, and sight.

Invisibility to Mortals (Sp): Brownies, like most fey, can't be seen if they don't want to be seen. Sometimes it's possible to perceive the faintest glimmer in the air, like the shimmering of air over pavement on a hot day, when a brownie is present, but brownies are good enough at concealment that this almost never matters. Other fey and rare mortals with second sight can see them anyway. If dispelled, brownies can become invisible again after a round.

Spell-like Abilities: Brownies use spells to harass and drive away enemies. They can use the following spells, once per day: protection from evil, ventriloquism, dancing lights, continual flame, mirror image (3 images), confusion, and dimension door.

If cornered and unable to attack with spells, brownies attack with their miniature short 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, relying instead on magic.
