>Ironically they probably work best in a gritty lower-fantasy game, where the expectation is that any character could die in one or two solid hits
Nah, they work completely fine in 3.5, which is probably the highest power game on the market.
There isn't any more suspension of disbelief between a diminutive fairy hitting you with a gargantuan maul and the guy with a lance doing enough damage in a single round to kill a fleshblob larger than any modern skyscraper.
Not like people die from getting hit in general.

>A human with a greataxe surviving getting stomped by a house-sized dragon only to chop into its leg afterwards is already a stretch, but when you take it even further and have a tiny fairy living through that and then somehow also dealing that sort of damage with a needle
These are literally the same thing. ~~Actually a bug getting squished but the ground giving way before the magic bug-sized person is more likely than the larger amount of ground that would have to give way for a human to not get squished~~
>it just stretches the suspension of disbelief too far for some people.
Those people don't belong anywhere near TTRPGs

Has you or another player in your games ever tried playing as the fairy companion?
