Homebrew Faerie Species Details

Amidst the misty forests and cliffs of Tirnanoc, many secluded races live away from prying eyes. Faeries are the most common, and are unrelated to the smaller fairies that we see slightly more often. There are many similarities, from their culture to their majestic wings. The faeries of Tirnanoc have 4 wings instead of 2 however, similar to a dragonfly, and they have a reputation for being incredibly nimble and quick, rather than magical and wise.

Faerie Traits

Faeries have the following traits:

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity increases by 2, and your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma increases by 1.

Age

Faeries mature at the same rate as humans, but live slightly longer, living for around 130 years.

Not so Different

Despite appearing similar to pixies and other such Fey creatures, faeries are unrelated, coming into the world through their own means. Your creature type is Humanoid.

Size

Your size is Medium.

Fluttering Wings

Faeries are blessed with four incredibly beautiful wings, bearing great resemblance to those of a dragonfly. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed, and can hover in place. Your flying speed is halved if you are wearing heavy armor or if you are similarly encumbered.

Silent as the Night

The wings of a faerie beat so fast they are almost soundless, allowing them to hide from harm. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently when you are flying and not over-encumbered.

Born Free

Faeries have extremely fine control over their movements, offering grace and precision few can match. You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill, and you have advantage against effects that would attempt to leave you Grappled or Restrained.

Just a Prick

Faeries are trained from birth to be self-reliant and able to handle their own affairs, including hunting for food in their homeland should they be caught away from home. You gain proficiency with Blowguns.

Faerie Flurry

Faeries can move at extraordinary speeds in short bursts, their wings carrying them through any dangerous situation they may find themselves in. When you fly on your turn in combat, you can double your flight speed until the end of the turn. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.

Languages

You can speak, read and write Common.
