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

Invisibility to Mortals (Sp): Quicklings, 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 quickling 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, quicklings can become invisible again after a round.

Spell-like Abilities: Quicklings have certain inherent magical powers they can employ at will. They can use the following spells, once per day: ghost sound, command, levitate, shatter, control plants, and fire trap.

In combat, quicklings employ their sleek, needle-like daggers. Quickling leaders are 75% likely to employ blue whinnis poison.
