Homebrew Faery Species Details

Fairies are most known for their cunning and cruel sense of humor, as well as their delight in tricking others. They are frequently characterized as seeking to bargain with mortal beings, offering someone their heart's desire but never mention that said

desire comes with a terrible cost. They are committed to notions of honor and etiquette. While they are always exactly to the letter of any promise they have made, they deliver these results with great irony and often use clever wordplay to their advantage in order to create loopholes for them to exploit.

They are unable to lie. They might, however, tell what they believe is true, even if it is not. They may expertly weave lies into sentences by using methods such as not telling the whole truth, letting others assume things, or not correcting the people with whom they're speaking; this does not, however, apply to the half-fairies who possess the ability to lie as easily as any other being. Fairies are also capable of manipulating one another. There have apparently been times when these either playful or serious manipulations, specifically resulting from problems or conflicts between powerful fey, bleed into the world.

Fairies, despite having different types, have some form of society and justice system called the Fairy Tribunal. This court decides on the fate of beings that break the presumably existing laws of their kind. This is not limited to fairies, as seen when a fairy named Gilda brought her former human enslaver to face their tribunal. Fairies, despite being different kinds, all seem to cooperate with each other.

It seems that Fairy's suffer from arithmomania, a mental disorder that may be seen as an expression of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sufferers of this disorder have the overwhelming impulse to count their actions or objects in their surroundings. Because of this (and regardless of how powerful any fairy may be), it must stop what it is doing to count every grain of sugar or salt, one by one, if someone pours it in front of them.

Faery Traits

Fairies have many different racial traits. Some of these include Healing and Mezmorization.

Healing

Fairies have the ability to cure broken or withered plants; wounds, broken bones, low vitality, and even diseases and restore the emotions and spirits of others.

Mezmorization

Fairies can make low willed humanoids do their bidding. The fairy only needs to have eye contact in order to seize your mind with a simple phrase or change in tone of voice.

Hallucinogenic Voice

At higher levels, not only can a Fairy mezmorize low-willed humanoids, but they can also make humanoids in general hallucinate things, similar to a genjutsu.
