ha, i just realized that was you Footkerchief. I just saw the pic and assumed you were somebody else entirely. i'm so used to that little pointing asian.
Since my pixies can't fly, i've decided to give them some abilities to create the illusion of flight, such as TRAPAVOID, WEBIMMUNE, EXTRAVISION, GRASSTRAMPLE:0, and SWIM_INNATE, i figured that something that is able to fly would have characteristics like this, but instead of SWIM_INNATE, what tag do i put in to make them like alligators, that can just jump in and out of bodies of water without needing a stairway? I also fixed some other stuff But hey, you said that YOU can't control them, do you mean that if the computer is controlling them, they'll do just fine?
If i understand the way speed works, i've also made them twice as fast as humans and dwarves, and fairly faster than elves in order to compensate for their incredible smallness some more.
I present, the second pixie draft.

I still don't know what layering and homeotherm mean or do. i've read about them, i just don't know what they mean or do. Why is that important to me? because I want to make one of their natural homes tundras or glaciers, while also them being able to settle in temperate climates like forests or shrublands easily.
Also, i plan on pixies being an entirely aboveground race, so no 'earth wands' but they can farm, chop wood, and smelt metal like humans, but not wear metal armor like elves.
I'm thinking of putting in some things to make them unique, like LIGHT_GEN and NOSMELLYROT.
i really hope i don't make pixies super-badass by accident.
