Homebrew Faerie Dragon Species Details

Description

A faerie dragon is a cat-sized dragon with butterfly wings. It wears a sharp-toothed grin and expresses its delight by the twitching of its tail, its merriment fading only if it is attacked.

Invisible Tricksters. The only warning of a faerie dragon’s presence is a stifled giggle. The dragon stays out of sight, watching invisibly as its victims contend with its pranks. When its fun is done, the dragon might reveal itself, depending on the disposition of its “prey.”

Friendly and Bright. A faerie dragon has a sharp mind, a fondness for treasure and good company, and a puckish sense of humour. Travellers can play to a faerie dragon’s draconic nature by offering it “treasure” in the form of sweets, baked goods, and baubles in exchange for information or safe passage through its territory.

The Colors of Age. A faerie dragon’s scales change hue as it ages, moving through all the colours of the rainbow. All faerie dragons have innate spellcasting ability, gaining new spells as they mature.

Faerie Dragon Traits

As an Faerie Dragon, you have certain traits in common with your people. Being able to fly at high speed starting at 1st level is exceptionally effective in certain circumstances and exceedingly dangerous in others. As a result, playing a Faerie Dragon requires special consideration by your DM.

Flight

You have a flying speed of 60 feet.

Flight Balancing

When in combat, your flight speed acts as a walking speed effectively allowing melee characters to hit you although, you may spend your action to fly higher and outside their range, dropping back down at the start of your next turn. At 5th level, this restriction is dropped. 

Euphoria Breath

You exhale a puff of euphoria gas at one creature within 5 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + Charisma modifier + proficiency bonus), or for 1 minute, the target can’t take reactions and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behaviour during the turn. You may use this once per long rest.

1–4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.

5–6. The target doesn’t move, and the only thing it can do on its turn is make Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
