Homebrew Fae Species Details
Fairy’s are mostly known for their smaller winged forms, known to most as their pixie form. However all fairies possess the ability to transform into a larger giant form growing about a foot for each inch tall they are in their pixie form. In giant form they are even lighter than elves ranging from 90 to 135 lbs. As a pixie, they are almost weightless to the point where it is nearly impossible to measure or compare the weights of fairies in their pixie form, with the exception of the rock heavy Oread and the feather light Aetheril. Their overall build is heavily dependent upon the elemental affinity of the fairy, but usually they are skinny and lean.
Fairy skin tones and hair color can be as dark or light as that of a human, but it is always a hue of their elemental color at varying degrees. For instance a water fairy could have bright blue skin, or almost white to the point that you could only notice its blue coloration in certain lighting. All fairies glow in varying degrees when they are in pixie form as well as their giant form, although it is usually very slight as a giant. A fairy’s clothing always displays an affiliation with their element by means of color, motifs, symbols, and/or accessories.

Transformation
Fairies have the ability to change between their pixie and giant forms at will, with use of an action. Both forms have their pros and cons however
Pixie form is the most well known form. Pixies have the ability to fly and are able to dash through the air the same as when walking in giant form. This ability makes fairies extremely mobile, but it has its cons as well. When in pixie form, fairies are unable to use any attacks, or spells due to their small size. Flying vertically counts as difficult terrain.
In giant form fairies are able to use their normal attacks and spells as any other humanoid can, but lack the capability to fly.

Faerie Fire
Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your choice). Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a Dexterity saving throw. For the duration, objects and affected creatures shed dim light in a 10-foot radius.
Any attack roll against an affected creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible.
