Homebrew Fairy Species Details

If you've ever seen a tree stump with bright mushrooms decorating it, hedges bountiful with blossoms or springs with lily pads and radiant water, it is likely that a fairy lives here. Fairies are almost as old as Time itself and we're born from the need to protect nature. They resemble Elf like people with rosy faces, and often Saphire blue eyes. Their hair can be any colour thinkable depending on the habitat, and they are always Female. They are born not from mothers, but curled up leaves or flower buds. They are also the size of a thumb roughly and have insect like wings on their backs which vary in colour and beat the same speed as a hummingbird.

 

 

Fairy Traits

Fairy Traits

Nature speaker

Fairies have lived alongside small woodland or river creatures for aeons and know most of their language. The languages they know are Sylvan, Aquan and Celestial. However they can also communicate with ease to common woodland creatures such as Deer, Rabbits, Frogs, Newts, Birds, Mice and they can speak to plants. Animals and plants can only do menial tasks which anybody could do such as, pick up sticks or flowers, alert other animals etc. 

Ability Score Increase

The fairy has +2 WIS and +2 DEX

Small size

Because the fairy weighs so little, it can stand on extremely thin twigs without them breaking and they make next to no sound whilst walking. Their tiny height means that they can fit in very small places which are at least 2 inches tall and 1 inch wide. It also has advantage on any stealth checks it makes because of its minuscule height. However, the fairy cannot lift any items which weigh more than 1/2 lbs.

Forest healer

If the fairy is within 30ft of a tree, springs, bush or nature, they can help to heal others. The fairy can heal a member of the party with one of their hit die. This can only be done once after a short rest. At level 5 the healing power can be used twice after a short rest and at level 10 it can be used three times.

As well as this, any hit die the Fairy uses whilst within a woodland or lake area, is maximised for itself.
