Homebrew Althea's Battle Pixies Race Details
Pixies often flit about the landscape, not staying in one place very long. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. There are several pixie communities that are hidden from all but the most steadfast adventurers, or those led in by the creatures themselves, and a Pixie might make it his or her life's work to beautify a natural area.
Althea's Battle Pixies Traits
+2 Dexterity, +1 Charisma, Flight, DarkvisionAbility Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Charisma score increases by 1.
Language
You can read and write Common, Elvish, and Sylvan
Size
With a slender build and standing just shy of 1 foot, your size is Tiny.
Tiny Dimensions
Due to being a creature of Tiny size, there are several things that apply to you:
- You have a proficiency in Stealth
- You can end your turn while occupying the same space as a creature of size Small or larger.
- +1 AC Bonus, since being small is hard to hit
- Unless you live in a settlement with many other Tiny creatures, your gear must be custom ordered.
- You have a reach of 0ft. You must occupy the same space as the target of a Melee attack, or a spell requiring Touch.
- You have Disadvantage on all Strength rolls.
Darkvision
Living mostly outdoors outside of traditional lighting, you have superior vision in dark or dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Flight
As a Pixie, flight comes natural to you, however flying for more than 3 hours non-stop, or for more than 12 hours in a day will exhaust you and you will need a short rest before taking flight once more. You have a natural flying speed of 30ft.
Enduring Wings
If your wings are cut or damaged, your inherent magic causes them to regrow by the end of a long rest. If the wings are Magically or physically torn off, take 1 long rest and 1 short rest to fully repair them. until then, take -3 Dexterity

Posted May 16, 2019I never finished this build, as a reddit user let me translate their pixie race over because it was much more balanced.
you can find it Here

Posted Jun 6, 2019I would love to use this for the game I play so maybe after my team ends their adventure together I might make a pixie it would really help for we’re we are now because my charicter was killed by the owner of black razor but I am making a comeback.

Posted Jul 27, 2020Is there a reason why the Pixie's racial bonus don't show up on the character's abilities page? Also, does "Tiny Dimensions" just give them disadvantage on strength checks or ALL skills because I'm seeing a big old red D next to every skill.

Posted Jun 16, 2021I really like this. Absolutely useable. Unlike a lot of homebrew races on here.
I think I'd still make a couple of adjustments for my own use.
-I'd allow them to end in the same space as a tiny or larger creature, since "space" in the context of 5e mechanics is a 5ft. Square.
I'd make the charisma bonus a +2 and give a minus to strength to balance that out. I know were all about not giving minuses these days but.. I mean.. it's a tiny little pixie. Giving it a 20 strength would be just... silliness. That said, I respect the choice of giving them disadvantage on strength checks.
The ability to emit light when in dim light or total darkness I think would be pretty thematically appropriate.
I love the "flying makes you tired" mechanic.
For funsies I'd probably add a disadvantage against persuasion attempts due to thier capricious nature.
I see some comments saying your coding doesnt populate all he abilities properly. That's unfortunate and I hope you get that figured out on a future version!!!

Posted Jun 16, 2021It's not generally necessary to describe a creatures walking speed if it has legs AND a fying speed.

Posted Aug 5, 2021What about this race is unfinished? i'm not really an expert on balance but it looks fairly alright. Only things I would change is to remove darkvision, lower HP, and to change the AC bonus to be your dexterity modifier. I imagine that a playable pixie race could be a formidable speedy glass cannon if given the right traits.
