Krin Sprites are light-hearted, curious and adventurous fey. They have little concern for personal wealth, but they do like to collect trinkets, gems, and useful mundane and magical equipment (part of which is kept in a communal hoard).
When encountered in the forest or on adventures, they usually wear clothing in colours suitable for camouflage, such as black, brown, and forest green. Among their tribesmen or in humanoid towns, many prefer colourful outfits in dubious colour combinations. Krin look like tiny Elves, but with longer, sharply pointed ears and gossamer wings (often shaped like those of a dragonfly). They stand 1 to 1-1/2 ft. tall.
Krin speak Sylvan and Common.

Combat
Krin prefer to attack from hiding and in ambushes, preferably from difficult to reach places such as trees. They use their spell-like abilities to avoid, lure, deceive, or trap opponents.
Speed: A Krin Sprite must concentrate to fly. While flying, he cannot perform any actions that require concentration, such as attacking or casting a spell. Actions during flight should only be possible if they are minor actions (e.g. free actions, drawing a weapon, etc.). Some feats, such as Flyby Attack, can only be used to their full potential if the Krin has taken the Confident Flight feat (see below). Should concentration be lost, the Krin will fall to the ground fluttering, as if affected by a Feather Fall spell. In order to regain flight, the Krin must succeed at a Reflex save and Concentration check, both DC 15. This is a full-round action that does not invoke attacks of opportunity. Retries can be made each round, until the Krin succeeds or reaches the ground.
Space/Reach: Krin are very quick and agile, and their wings allow them to make quick jumping attacks. Their space and reach is equal to that of Small and Medium creatures (5x5 ft. space and 5 ft. reach).
Skills: Krin Sprites do not receive the +2 to Spot, Listen, and Search that other Sprites have.
