Homebrew Gemstone Pixie Species Details

Legend says that Gemstone Pixies once were normal pixies but due to a curse, they lost their wings and had to retreat into dark caves or abandoned burrows. Overtime they adapted to their surroundings and evolved in order to survive the rough wild magical nature of the Feywild. This caused gemstones to sprout from their body, sometimes even replacing the hair on their head. The gems are part oft he Gemstone Pixie and do have nerves attached. Still, they are hunted and killed in order to harvest and sell their gems.

Gemstone Pixies are often named after the gems that grow out of their body.

Gemstone Pixies are considered mature at the age of 20 and live up to 500 years old.

Gemstone Pixie Traits

Due to their evolution, the gems on their body give them both advantages and disadvantages.

Ability Score Improvement

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

 

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

 

Creature Type

Your Creature Type is Humanoid.

 

Height and Weight

Your height ranges between 6-8 inches and your weight is about 1- 1 ½ pounds.

 

Darkvision

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 discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

 

Reflective Gems: Improved Magic Resistance

You have advantage on saving throws against spells. Furthermore, if the spell used against you deals damage, the size of the dice rolled is reduced by one, meaning a d6 changes to a d4. If the required die already is a d4, the damage received is halved.

 

Reflective Gems: Unattuned

Due to the crystals growing out of your body, you are not able to connect to the weave as it scrambles that connection. You cannot wield magic. If you want to play a half-caster such as a Paladin or Ranger work together with your DM to find an alternative to the spells received by this class.

 

Natural Armor

The gems provide you with a natural layer of protection. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Constitution modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
