Yes, but if you are spending your points on Wealth, you aren't spending them on being invulnerable or having your own pocket dimension or whatever.

I guess I'm of the opinion that:

1. If you want a Pixie that hides in combat, just hide in combat. I'd let them use the normal rules for Backstabs (Stealth at -5 at the start of combat) but rather than appearing behind the foe, they can be in any hiding place up to 50 yards away.
2. The existing pricy faerie books are meant to compensate for the encumbrance issue with $$$. Futzing around with weird off-template Power-Ups in order to short-circuit the limitations is a bit munchkiny.
3. Bracers of Force, Amulets of Natural Armor, and the Armor spell will help with that whole explosion/AOE problem.
