- Magic Resistance
- Cold iron in the house makes it uneasy but does not harm it. It is bound by the older law of hospitality: a promise made to a brownie holds, and a promise broken to one cannot be mended by magic of any kind.

It threshes the grain, scours the pots and mends the thatch, all between the banking of the fire and first light, and it asks for a bowl of cream on the hearthstone and nothing else. A brownie is not a servant and takes bitter offence at being treated as one. Leave it wages and it is insulted. Leave it clothing and it is gone by morning, forever, often with a rhyme about the gift left ringing in the rafters. Households that lose one rarely prosper again.
Special Attack
A wronged brownie fights with whatever the house provides - the poker, the boiling pot, the loose flagstone. Improvised Strike: bludgeoning, melee 5 ft, +2 to hit, 1d4+1, and it always has something to hand. Souring: 20 ft, save Con Tough, fail save roll 1d4 poison as milk curdles, ale turns and rations spoil in the pack, cooldown 3 rounds.
Special Defense
Of the House: within a dwelling it knows, it moves through walls, floors and locked doors freely and cannot be cornered. Gift of Clothing: offer it any garment and it departs at once, permanently, and the encounter ends. This works, it always works, and the household will regret it.
