Homebrew Fae Species Details

Fae for Willow

Fae Traits

Yea

Iron Vulnerability

You have a natural weakness to iron. When taking slashing or piercing damage from anything containing iron, make a Constitution saving throw (DC is 10 or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher) or suffer the Poisoned condition until the end of your next turn. Prolonged contact and/or being encased in iron will surpress your magical qualities and weaken you significantly. You suffer the Incapacitated and Poisoned conditions while in this state.

Being of Truth

As a Fae, you are connected to truth in ways beneficial and detrimental. You have Poficiency in Insight, however you cannot consciously tell a lie.

Connection with Nature

Plants and animals can understand your speach, and can communicate back simple ideas or concepts via images in your mind. Plants and creatures capable of motion and/or possessing sentience may do as you ask and follow suggestions at the DM's discretion.

Trance

Fae don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Ability Score Increase

One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and one ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Age

Fae reach physical maturity around the same age as humans, and only age past that when outside of the Feywild. While in the Feywild, dying from old age is unheard of. In any other plane, fae have about the same lifespan as elves.

Size

Fae range from under 4 to over 7 feet tall. Your size is Medium or Small.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Thanks to your fae blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fae Ancestry

As a being of magic, you naturally resist its effects. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Sylvan, and one extra language of your choice.
