Homebrew Faun Species Details
Fauns are to Fey what tieflings are to devils. They are humanoids with fey blood, which gives them horns like goats, deer, or antelope, along with deer-like noses and ears, and goat-like legs with cloven hooves. They live in small hunter-gatherer tribes in the Feywild.
Faun Traits
Fauns share certain racial traits as a result of their fey descent.Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 2.
Age
Fauns mature at the same rate as humans but live a few years longer.
Alignment
Fauns tend toward neutral and chaotic alignments, but are almost always good.
Size
Fauns are about the same size and build as humans, though their goat-like legs tend to be bigger and their torsos smaller. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
You are accustomed to hunting in dim forests and watching for predators. 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.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Tune of the Wild
You are proficient with the pan flute.
Woodland Beguiler
You know the vicious mockery cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the charm person spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Posted Sep 5, 2018Can you clarify what you mean? This is a character race. It looks like other character races on a character sheet.

Posted Feb 12, 2019Looks good although I must be honest and say that I think it may be missing something... It feels like it's just a worse charisma based elf. Maybe a hoof attack instead of unarmed strike, or a slightly higher movement speed. Just seems a tad on the week side. Otherwise, looks awesome!

Posted May 9, 2019The only thing I would do differently would be to replace "Vicious Mockery" with "Friends" as their cantrip to maintain the charm theme. Well done.

Posted May 16, 2019It’s basically just a reskinned tiefling. It’s balanced. It’s fine.
