Homebrew Fey Half-Dragon Species Details
While Fey Half-Dragons derive from the rare physical or magical union of faerie dragons and one of any number of humanoid races such as humans or elves, the vast majority of their kind are the children of Fey Half-Dragons. While cross-species unions occur, their rarity ensures that they serve only as incidental transfusions of new blood into the gene pool of an otherwise stable, true-breeding population of their kind. True to their origins, half-faerie dragons combine a humanoid form with many of the key and most colourful features, as well as the innate magical nature, of their draconic fore-bearers Most obvious among these features are their wings and tail.
Sprouting from between their shoulder-blades, Fey Half-Dragons possess a pair of elegant, brilliantly coloured butterfly wings. Wing colours vary wildly, and the chromatophores along their tips carry this trend further by changing colour to match their mood, not unlike those of a chameleon. Their second-most obviously draconic trait is the long, sinuous tail that descends from the base of their spine for several feet at least. It is sometimes as long as they are tall. The appearance of their tails ranges from a more traditional and unadorned—if slender—reptilian tail to one decorated with patches of colour, elegant frills, and a glowing tip like the lures of some deep-water fish.

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1.
Age
Half dragons mature at the same rate as their mortal parent's race, but they can live up to 1000 years. A few of those who have transcended into dragonhood, however, have been granted the gift of immortality. Making dragonhood even more sought after, but no less difficult to achieve.
Alignment
Just like true faerie dragons, Fey Half-Dragons are predominantly good aligned, with a strong predilection towards chaos over law. Their impulsive, whimsical, and at times, frustratingly mercurial attitude towards the world can rub others the wrong way, as can their cultural fascination with jokes and pranks. At their worst, however, they are mischievous rather than malicious. They adore humour, beauty, creation, and magic, so they venerate gods who value these same things. Unlike many half-breed races however, they rarely worship humanoid gods.
Size
Half-Dragons usually stand around the same as the humanoid race they are mixed with.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
However as you are half Fey, small to medium magical wings sprout from your back - they usually have similar looks to actual fairy wings. Your flying speed is 30 feet if not wearing heavy armour or medium armour.
Euphoria Gas
You can use your action to exhale fey like magic.
When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of exhalation must make a saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Charisma Modifer + your proficiency bonus. Any creatures being hit with Euphoria Gas will be paralysed for 1 minute, unable to move their body as the fey magic takes hold of them. If the saving throw is succeeded then they remain unaffected.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common, Draconic and Sylvan due to your racial origin.
Creature Type
Your creature type is fey, rather than humanoid.
Gifted Trickster
Those that try to investigate your illusions are struck with difficulty due to the lucidity and realness of it.
Saving throws against your visual, sound and smell illusions are done with a disadvantage, this only occurs outside of combat however.
