Homebrew Faerie Species Details

Faeries are creatures of the Feywild. They often appear Human or Elven in nature, many of them having red hair and green eyes. All Faeries posses an innate gift for magic, which they call Glamour. This Glamour allows them to manipulate the sight of others, it can also be used to hide their true selves or to cause some good mischief. While Faeries are naturally the size of Humans, they have the ability to temporarily shrink down in size, allowing them to get around unseen and to even fly around.

You know the Minor Illusion cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Disguise Self spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Invisibility spell on yourself once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Fey Ancestory

You have advantage on saving throws from being charmed and cannot be magically put to sleep.

Fairy Form

As an Action, you can shrink yourself, and your equipment, down to a very small size. This Transformation lasts for 10 minutes. While in Fairy Form, your size is Tiny. You have a walking speed of 10 feet, but sprout insect-like wings gain a fly speed of 30 feet. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you. You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours and can fit through spaces as small as 15 inches. However, you do not gain any benefits from armor or shields, you have disadvantage on Strength Checks and Strength Saving Throws, and your weapon attacks deal 1d4 less damage (this can't reduce the damage below 1). Once the 10 minutes are up, or you are reduced to 0 hit points, you revert to your original form, or you may also revert back early as an action. Once you use this trait, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Languages

You can speak, read and write Common and Sylvan.
