A pixie remains invisible even when it attacks. This ability is constant, but the pixie can suppress or resume it at any time without spending an action.
Special
|Invisibility
Special Arrows When a pixie fires an arrow from any bow, it can decide to change the arrow's properties by sprinkling it with magical pixie dust. Doing so is a free action as long as the pixie is the one who fires the arrow. A pixie can use this dust 20 times each day. The dust is useless to another creature unless the pixie gives the dust freely. In this case, the pixie chooses what effect the dust will have on an arrow when it is applied, and it takes a standard action to apply the dust to the arrow. Once pixie dust is applied to an arrow, the pixie's chosen effect persists on the arrow for only 1 round. As long as an arrow is altered in this way, it does not inflict damage when it hits; it only causes its new effect. A pixie can choose any one of the following three effects when dusting an arrow, Charm, Memory Loss or Sleep.
Special
|Invisibility
Charm Arrow Charm; The target must succeed on a Spell save or be affected as though by a Charm Monster spell for 10 minutes.
Special
|Invisibility
Memory Loss Arrow Memory Loss; The target must succeed on a Spell save or be affected by a modify memory spell. This effect can only eliminate the previous 5 minutes of memory - a pixie typically uses this ability to make the target forget it encountered the pixie so it won't chase the pixie when he flees.
Special
|Invisibility
Sleep Arrow Sleep; The target must succeed on a Spell save or fall asleep for 5 minutes.

Invisibility (Su)
A pixie remains invisible even when it attacks. This ability is constant, but the pixie can suppress or resume it as a free action.
Special
Special Arrows (Su)
When a pixie fires an arrow from any bow, it can decide to change the arrow's properties by sprinkling it with magical pixie dust. Doing so is a free action as long as the pixie is the one who fires the arrow. A pixie can generate a number of uses of dust equal to its Charisma score each day (16 uses per day for most pixies)-the dust is useless to another creature unless the pixie gives the dust freely. In this case, the pixie chooses what effect the dust will have on an arrow when it is applied, and it takes a standard action to apply the dust to the arrow. Once pixie dust is applied to an arrow, the pixie's chosen effect persists on the arrow for only 1 round. As long as an arrow is altered in this way, it does not inflict damage when it hits-it only causes its new effect. A pixie can choose any one of the following three effects when dusting an arrow. Save DCs are Charisma-based.

Ability
Sprinkle Pixie Dust
(manipulate) The pixie sprinkles pixie dust onto one of its arrows. If the pixie hits a creature with that arrow before the pixie's next turn, the arrow inflicts one of the following special effects instead of dealing damage. Each effect depends on the target's DC 21 Will save. On a critical hit, the target treats its save result as one degree worse.Charm (emotion, enchantment, incapacitation, mental) The target suffers the effects of a charm spell, except it doesn't gain a bonus to its save if the only hostile act was the pixie firing its bow, and the pixie can choose to direct the target's adoration toward another creature rather than itself.Memory Loss (divination, mental) On a failed Will save, the target loses the last 5 minutes of its memory.Sleep (enchantment, incapacitation, mental, sleep) The target suffers the effects of a 3rd-level sleep spell.Subdual (enchantment, mental, nonlethal) The target takes 4d6 mental damage, depending on its basic Will save.

Perhaps the best-known and most elusive of all fey creatures, pixies live in the deepest, most pristine forests, but their insatiable curiosity often leads them far from home. Most pixies stand just over 2 feet tall-though they typically fly about the eye level of creatures they're conversing with in order to maintain eye contact-and weigh about 30 pounds. Pixies talk quickly and easily become overexcited.
