Homebrew Pointy Hat's Brownie Species Details

A subterranean folk, goblins can be found in every corner of the multiverse, often beside their bugbear and hobgoblin kin. Long before the god Maglubiyet conquered them, early goblins served in the court of the Queen of Air and Darkness, one of the Feywild’s archfey. Goblins thrived in her dangerous domain thanks to a special boon from her—a supernatural knack for finding the weak spots in foes larger than themselves and for getting out of trouble. Goblins brought this fey boon with them to worlds across the Material Plane, even if they don’t remember the fey realm they inhabited before Maglubiyet’s rise. Now many goblins pursue their own destinies, escaping the plots of both archfey and gods.

Pointy Hat's Brownie Traits

As a goblin, you have the following racial traits.

Light and Darkness

While in Bright Light:

• Fury of Air. Light and Air guide your weapon, helping you strike true. When you damage a creature, you may reroll one damage die. You must take the second roll.
• Eyes Unclouded. You have advantage on all checks to see through illusions or recognize them as such. 

While in Darkness:

• Fury of Darkness. Dark and Shadow cloak your form, helping you disappear after a strike. When you make a melee, ranged, or spell attack against a creature, you can immediately afterwards take the Disengage or Hide action as part of the Attack action.
• Eyes Shadowed. You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 60 feet, and you do not have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight while in dim light. 

While in dim light, choose either Fury of Air or Fury of Shadow, and either Eyes Unclouded or Eyes Shadowed.
