Homebrew Fairy- Oread Species Details

Fairies are a deeply magical race, drawing power directly from the elements around them. They are most commonly found in the feywild, their homeland, though they can be found in the material plane as well. They are playful creatures, often playing tricks or pranks upon others, but on the rare occasions that they are serious, they ought to be taken as such, or you will pay for it.

CREATURE OF MANY SHAPES: 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.

Most fairies are not made to brave the outside world, most would much rather stay at home and attend their daily duties. But for those who do decide to leave it is because of one of two reasons, either their homeland is in danger, or they feel that they have nothing better to do. A fairy may wander into a nearby village to cause some mischief, leading them to a local tavern with a band of adventurers. Should the fairy become interested it may join up with them, and assist them on their adventure.

ETERNAL SPIRITS: Fairies don't age, they are created as they always will look. They have no body or facial hair, with the exception of the Oread. They are living embodiments of the forces of nature and are not held by the same boundries of longevity like most. Thus fairies have the potential to live eternaly, however most actually chose not to, returning back to nature in a variety of ways. Floran often become plants, water fairies may rejoin the rivers from which they were born, there really is no single way in which it is done. Some fairies become fairies again , after thousands of years of slumber in another form. They may not, however, return looking the same,not even belonging to the same element! As they quite literally the forces of nature, their states eb and flow over eons, never truly settling in one state.

Because of their near-eternal lifespans, fairies have many secrets that they have collected over the years such as historical events, scandals, deeds of good and evil. However it is very difficult to get these secrets from fairies, they often times must be tricked into doing so, or if they grow a deep bond with someone, they may reveal some occasionally. Fairies are curious creatures and obsess over finding out more about anything that strikes their fancy, playing with a child in a family they have watched for years, exploring the streets of a town at night, or exploring the depths of the darkest caves.

As a fairy your character is blessed with special attributes, that set it apart from other creatures

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.
