====Shee==== The defining members of the Seelie Court - in fact, Queen Maeve is herself Princess of the Shee - these Arak are the most overtly [[elf]]-like of the shadow fey, appearing as nothing more than extremely tall and slender elves with pale hair, amber eyes, and very light, almost milky-white, skin. The shee adore music, poetry, and performances of all kind, and mostly serve greater Arak society as singers, dancers and other entertainers. Strangely, in AD&D they were also the lorekeepers and historians of the shadow fey, a role that was bizarrely transferred to the portunes in 3rd edition. Perhaps because of their fondness for art, which even gives them a racial [[Favored Class]] of [[Bard]] (in AD&D every last shee is a 7th level [[Enchanter]] whose victims suffer a -2 penalty on their saving throws against the shee's enchantment spells), the shee are the singular Arak breed most fond of humans. They frequently travel into human lands in order to learn new songs and stories, and whilst they see nothing wrong in making [[changeling]]s out of entertainers, they also often fall in genuine love with them, leading to the birth of [[Half-Fey]] (Shadow) offspring. Despite being a race fascinated with song, poetry and dance, the shee are hardly defenseless. In addition to their magical powers, they can charm people with a kiss, whilst any weapon they pick up borrows from their innate magical powers and becomes itself lightly enchanted. Worse, arrows fired by a shee-wielded bow can inflict magical curses on their targets. Shee can transform into the shape of birds, although they prefer graceful ones like swans and nightingales. They are immune to weapons made of wood and to either fire (AD&D) or cold (3e). In AD&D, like portunes, anyone attacking a shee is struck by a fumble spell, although the shee's version triggers ''before'' the attacker's roll is made; in 3e, this is changed to the "Luck" supernatural power, which grants them +3 AC and the ability to reroll a saving throw once per day. They can harmed effortlessly by weapons made from lead. Shee generally make their homes at hearts of oak copses. These places are always brightly lit, elegantly furnished, and stocked with scrolls, books, and other valuable records of history and lore, plus at least one musical instrument. <gallery> shee Shadow Rift.png maeve Shadow Rift.png shee.jpg </gallery>
