Homebrew Pixie Species Details

SMALL & SLEEK

Pixies are brave creatures, and they aren't jealous of larger creatures like elves and humans, as ‘size isn’t strength’, and they are proud of being small. They stand around 6 inches tall and weigh around 9 ounces. Pixies’ skin tones range from very pale to dark tan. Their hair is usually black, brown or blond, but when they are feeling a very strong emotion, it turns the colour representing that emotion. PIxies ears are long and pointy like an elves. Pixies wear clothes that are easy to move around in but on special Pixie occasions, they wear bright, stunning dresses and suits.

COURAGEOUS & CURIOUS

Pixies would do anything for the ingredients for a potion, even if it meant climbing a cliff miles high, but are always cheerful. Even the sneaky ones are more playful than vicious. They like poking around people’s lives and are interested in almost everything.

AWAY FROM EVERYTHING

Pixies live away from the outside world as they don’t think they would fit in. Also, with their frequent correspondence with the Chi’Cha, they know they might be hunted for their abilities. They still do business with other folk, for materials, and such, but do so carefully and secretively.

TREETOPS,  BUSHES & BURROWS

Pixies live in solitary, hidden communities, amongst the many forests of the Forgotten Realms. They make small huts in trees and bushes, and cooperate with small animals with burrows. However, they are rarely inside, except for brewing potions, as they love to be in the open air, and are constantly searching for a new mystery.

CURIOSITY & CHEMISTRY

Pixies are always longing for the outer world and its possibilities, but fear it. A pixie might go on an adventure to find an unknown or so called mythical potion ingredient, or just to see what is beyond the comfort of their forest.
