I am a pixie variant for Motm Fairy race and I'm stuck on how to make this racial trait that replaces the Fairy Magic trait. Here it is the trait below:
Heart Sight
You touch a creature and magically know the creature’s current emotional state. If the target fails Charisma saving throw against a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice when you choose this species), you also know the creature’s alignment. Celestials, fiends, and undead automatically fail the saving throw.
You can use this ability a number of time equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
I'd say this is a pretty good feature so far. Quick note: Not everyone wants you to know their emotional state, so have them make a Wisdom or Charisma saving throw, our choice on which one. Make the DC fairly low, since this is a powerful feature. Then we'll say that if they fail by a certain amount, maybe 3 or more points below the DC, you know their alignment. This is just one idea, of course.
I have a question for you to figure out the answer to; what happens if the creature has no emotional state, like a construct or elemental? And how much do you find out from touching them?

Check out Monach of the Realms forum game!As Djinni you'll know me, for I am your king. From void I have shaped thee, I've shaped everything. But please do not kneel, just look and behold, I rule you to heal and share stories untold. The mask that I wear is a crude one of glass, so your soul will repair if you glance at me fast. You'll pray that you know me, and I'll let your heart ring. I'm as strong as the world tree and I'll make your heart sing.

This ability does not work on creatures that are either Construct or Elemental.

I would word the middle part like this: "This ability does not work on creatures that do not have emotional states, like constructs or elementals." That way you don't have to keep fiddling with the wording when a new creature that it shouldn't work on comes up.

Any help on how to make it would be appreciated.

thanks for the tip, here's what came up with.
