Born from a mother-blossom in the Feywild, you were lost to the Material Plane, forever carrying the vibrant, magical resonance of your home.
You were once a sprout in the untamed, kaleidoscopic heart of the Feywild. Whether caught in a planar rift or wandering too far from the mother-blossom, you found yourself adrift in the Material Plane. Your existence is a bridge between worlds; you are a living anchor of fey energy, seeking to cultivate beauty and harmony in a world that often feels grey in comparison to your origins. You carry a glowing, magical seed from your homeland, a reminder of where you came from and a promise that you will one day help your true nature bloom again.
- Ability Scores: Your time in the Feywild has granted you an otherworldly grace and a sharp, inquisitive mind. You gain a +1 bonus to Charisma and a +1 bonus to Dexterity.
- Feat: You gain the Fey Touched feat, reflecting your magical origins and your ability to channel fey energy.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in the Nature and Performance skills.
- Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency with Painter’s Supplies and the Pan Flute.
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.
- Equipment: You start with a set of traveler’s clothes, a set of painter’s supplies, a pan flute, a trinket (a glowing seed from your homeland), and a pouch containing 10 gold pieces.
Your connection to the plant life of the Feywild is deep enough to pulse through the natural world. Once per long rest, you can touch a plant or natural surface to trigger one of the following effects:
-
Floral Barrier: All plants within 15 ft of you become difficult terrain for enemies for 1 minute.
-
Bioluminescent Pulse: All flora within 30 ft of you glows (20 ft bright/20 ft dim light) for 1 hour, revealing invisible creatures.
-
Echo of the Fey: You tap into the plant life to "see" and "hear" what transpired in this location within the last 24 hours.
Suggested Characteristics
You can choose from personality traits that reflect a fey-touched nature: perhaps you are perpetually fascinated by mundane objects, you speak in metaphors, or you struggle to understand the concept of "keeping time."
