Homebrew Dragonfae Species Details
The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are a wee folk, but not nearly as much so as their pixie and sprite friends. The first fairies spoke Elvish, Goblin, or Sylvan, and encounters with human visitors prompted many of them to learn Common as well.
Infused with the magic of the Feywild, most fairies look like Small elves with insectile wings, but each fairy has a special physical characteristic that sets the fairy apart. For your fairy, roll on the Fey Characteristics table or choose an option from it. You’re also free to come up with your own characteristic if none of the suggestions below fit your character.

Euphoria Breath
Once per short rest, you can exhale a puff of euphoria gas at one creature within 5 feet. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier), or for 1 minute, the target can't take reactions and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behaviour during the turn: 1-4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction. 5- 6. The target doesn't move, and the only thing it can do is attempt the saving throw again, ending the effect on itself on a success.
