Invisibility to Mortals (Sp): Dobies, 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 dobie is present, but they're good enough at concealment that this almost never matters. Other fey and rare mortals with second sight can see them anyway. If dispelled, dobies can become invisible again after a round.
Gullibility: Dobies are particularly gullible, suffering a -3 penalty to Will saving throws against illusions and charm attacks.
Spell-like Abilities: In combat, a dobie can cast secret page, grease, confusion, and ray of enfeeblement, each once per day, to confound and confuse opponents.
A dobie can also used improvised materials such as hoes and hammers for 1d4 points of damage (minus their Strength penalty and plus their Small Size bonus).
Dobies are generally inoffensive creatures; they would prefer to walk or sneak away rather than fight, but they will battle to defend their big-folk neighbors or farms against hostile comers.
